Steve Hopper’s Experience

  • Founding Partner & Principal

    Inviscid Consulting, LLC

    (Privately Held; Management Consulting industry)

    2004Present (5 years )

    in·vis·cid (ĭn-vĭs'ĭd) - adj.
    1. Having no resistance to flow.

    Physical distribution costs both time and money. Your business must use these two commodities wisely if it is going to succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Inviscid Consulting can help. We are a professional industrial engineering consulting firm that streamlines warehousing and distribution operations, saving clients both time and money.

    Inviscid supply chains are more than "efficient." They must also be effective. After all, a chainsaw is very efficient for cutting trees, but it's not a very effective tool for slicing butter. Effective warehousing and distribution requires the right blend of people, processes, facilities, equipment, material handling systems, and information technology.

    Inviscid Consulting applies the art and science of effective supply chain execution. We discover and implement lean distribution solutions that drive to drive down your costs, boost your service levels, and streamline your supply chain. Contact us today and let us show you how to save time and money in your warehousing and distribution operations.
