About James Grieger

Six Peaks Consulting is all things CSC. We are expert in all aspects of self-distribution for all supply categories including pharmacy. We are revolutionizing supply chain management in the healthcare industry through strategic partnerships with forward thinking health system executives to mitigate risks, enable control, and plan for successful future growth. Six Peaks Consulting is a best-in-class supply chain integrator for four reasons: 1.We contribute to your strategic visioning process with our extensive multi-industry experience 2.We provide innovative and unbiased solutions to meet your specific needs 3.We offer a collaborative, transparent service experience 4.We are all things CSC (Consolidated Service Centers) Our clients are health systems who desire to create value-based, sustainable relationships that extract irrational variation out of the connected supply chain. Compared to all other industries, healthcare product manufacturers have the highest average selling, general, and administrative (SG & A) expenses as a percentage of their respective revenues. This is a direct result of the outdated behaviors associated with the conventional supply model. Outdated behaviors directly affect upstream and downstream processes, causing higher-than-necessary cost-to-serve structures. The resulting inflated costs are ultimately passed on to the health system either directly or through non-committal GPO supply agreements. Our expertise in complex, multi-industry global supply chain environments combined with our knowledge of manufacturing and distribution economics allows us to demonstrate to a health system how best to free up resources needed to invest in new models - all with patient care in mind.
