Rapidly building capability to design, develop, deliver and support products and services

In Today’s pressured business environment, organisations find themselves urgently having to review their supply chain strategies. The business landscape is being heavily re-shaped by various forces; increased margin and cost pressures, Mergers & Acquisitions activity, rising regulations and global opportunities call for a Lean, low-cost, flexible and sustainable supply chain operating model.

Our expertise

Responding to this need to change, we help our clients in all phases of their supply chain improvement cycle; strategy, opportunity assessment, value re-engineering (for both the supply chain and products/services), integrated business planning, new product introduction, product lifecycle management, inventory optimisation and asset management.

Our solutions are all accompanied by a robust benefits case and a time-phased implementation plan, always tailored to your specific business needs:

• Supply Chain Strategy: Building a low cost, sustainable and flexible supply chain operating model, totally aligned to your strategic objectives. Understanding what is required to take advantage of global opportunities and how the optimum, future supply chain operating model should look
• Supply Chain Opportunity Assessment: A rapid and holistic approach which focuses on all elements of the supply chain (service, cost, risk) and identifies prioritised improvement areas, always benchmarking against industry-leading supply chains
• Supply Chain Value Re-Engineering: An end-to-end supply chain process re-design, with an extended focus on products/services, which aims to maximise value and optimise the total cost of service delivery whilst maintaining flexibility
• Integrated Business Planning: A holistic business planning process that integrates demand, supply and financial planning into a single, enterprise wide activity, ensuring their strategic alignment and offering greater visibility to decision makers
• New Product Introduction: Working with all stakeholders to deploy a robust product introduction management methodology by investigating process, people and technology requirements to improve time to market, ensure efficient governance and mitigate risks, always responding to customer needs
• Product Lifecycle Management: Enabling business transformation activities to optimise processes across the Business Lifecycle, removing any functional and information silos
• Inventory Optimisation: Reviewing inventory management policies, always according to demand profiles, to reduce inventory-related costs while improving customer service levels
• Asset Management: Deploying practices and activities to optimise the use of the assets (in terms of performance, expenditures and risks) throughout their life cycles, always in line with your strategic objectives.

Our targeted rapid benefits delivery is supported by innovative commercial arrangements.
