Supply Chain Navigators Ltd published the COMPASS Framework, a structural assessment pattern translating into a quantified structural health metric called the COMPASS Index.

Supply Chain Navigators Ltd is a structural alignment advisory firm. We work with executive teams and PE Operating Partners responsible for capital-intensive automated distribution environments – where automation infrastructure, WMS architecture and governance structures must remain aligned with the original investment logic across a fifteen to twenty-five year infrastructure lifecycle. Automated distribution environments are not operational systems. They are long-life infrastructure assets. Most are planned as projects, managed as operations, and left without the structural governance framework they require. The result is structural drift – a slow, compounding divergence between what the investment was designed to achieve and what the operation actually delivers. Invisible in operational KPIs. Visible eventually in EBITDA. We apply the COMPASS Framework™ to make that drift visible, measurable and addressable before it reaches the board report. The COMPASS Index™ is the board-ready structural health metric that operational KPIs cannot provide. A single composite score – 0 to 100 – measuring how far a distribution environment has moved from its original structural operating envelope. Engagements are principal-led, technology-agnostic and confidential. Simon Dahlem leads every engagement at board and C-level from day one.
