Training Workshops

Supply chain management is of increasing importance for organizations wanting to ensure inventory availability while maintaining an appropriate cost structure. Supply chain optimization begins with the statistical assessment of supply demand. The supply chain optimization needs to consider demand volatility, supply lead times and lead time volatility, purchase cost, criticality of availability and the distribution methods to arrive at the best supply chain management model for your organization.  Through this approach, clients have saved substantial expenses while simultaneously increasing the inventory availability using our supply chain management optimization techniques.  We can provide you with state-of-the-art supply chain management expertise through our supply chain management workshops.

 

Project Scope and Design

·         Is your project properly scoped and designed?

·         Will your impending software implementation actually improve your Supply Chain?

·         Have you identified and quantified the proper measures for a successful Supply Chain implementation?

Can you confidently answer these questions?  To assure the success of your implementation, you must set the proper foundation.  To aid you, our involvement should begin early in your endeavor, providing the following services:

Supply Chain Assessment

Automating a flawed Supply Chain can simply result in reaching the Supply Chain's demise more quickly.  We will chart and model your Supply Chain to assure that it withstands the rigors of automation.  Any logistical Supply Chain changes will be implemented before the software implementation begins.

Project Measures

Implementing a Supply Chain software without pre-set measurements can leave you asking “are/were we successful?”.  We will scout your Supply Chain, seeking opportunities for improvements and will quantify benefits and metrics related directly to the implementation; measurements will be documented.  This documentation will be used throughout the implementation, allowing you to assess your efforts.

Project Scoping

Without a properly scoped project, you will either “bite off more than you can chew” or implement a Supply Chain system that does not properly encompass the functionality your Supply Chain requires—neither outcome is desirable.  We will scope your project in perfect balance of feasible execution and required functionality.
