Supply chain management

Do you understand your supply chains?

Do you know where your vulnerabilities exist?

Do you know where to focus to improve performance?

Note: It is quite feasible that a client will perceive a problem and make an initial request for help in this area without considering the upstream activities or implications. The supply chain management may not be the true issue. The consultant must assess quickly whether there are issues behind the request that need to be addressed first. This should become clear following discussions on why the activity has been requested and initial discussions around business needs.

Product definition

  • Analyse the complete supply chain for all purchases.
  • Identify vulnerabilities, constraints, lead time reduction and cost reduction opportunities.
  • Significantly upgrade supply chain management capabilities in order to manage vulnerabilities and constraints and improve overall supply chain efficiency.
  • Implement clearly structured supply chains linked to and contributing to business strategy.
