About
Strategy that works in the real world.
B. Keith Miears has spent his career working at the intersection of strategy, supply chain, operations, technology, and executive decision-making. His experience spans global manufacturing and supply networks, including extensive work across the United States and Asia.
Operator's Perspective
BK Consulting approaches problems from the perspective of someone who has had to implement decisions — not simply recommend them. Strategy must ultimately work in factories, supply chains, organizations, financial plans, and customer commitments.
The difference between advising and operating is significant. Most consulting firms send analysts who have studied supply chains. BK Consulting brings the perspective of someone who has run them — navigating the tradeoffs, managing the constraints, and being accountable for the outcomes.
Background
Keith's experience spans senior operating and advisory roles across global manufacturing, supply chain, and technology organizations. He has worked across the full scope of supply chain and operations — from network strategy and manufacturing footprint decisions to logistics, inventory, cost structure, and organizational design.

How BK Consulting Works
BK Consulting is a focused, senior-level practice. Engagements are led directly by Keith — not delegated to junior staff. Every project begins with a clear diagnostic, proceeds with structured analysis, and ends with recommendations that are grounded in operational reality.
Direct engagement
Every engagement is led by Keith personally. Clients work with the same senior perspective from the first conversation to the final recommendation.
Independent judgment
BK Consulting has no software to sell, no implementation practice to feed, and no preferred vendor relationships. Recommendations reflect what is right for the client.
Operational grounding
Every recommendation is tested against operational reality. Strategy that cannot be implemented is not strategy — it is analysis.
