To stay ahead in the
market, businesses must not just look at raising prices; they need to
look at reducing their production costs. This can mean looking at ways
to eliminate delays in goods and materials moved throughout the supply
chain and improving inefficient and unreliable systems and processes.
In order to do this,
you need to take a holistic look at your logistics. Are your trading
partners and transportation providers fragmented? Are you able to track
and trace the status of your shipments? Logistics involves planning,
executing and managing the movement of resources, and of the supporting
activities that revolve around it, to the places they are needed. While
this may seem a small step in your overall supply chain, managing your
logistics efficiently can help you reduce the high costs of transporting
goods while increasing customer fulfillment and satisfaction. |

Information Technology |

After years of IT spending for operations with minimal bottom-line
impact, executives are focused on results. While supply chain
transparency using the Internet and sophisticated optimization
algorithms undoubtedly have value, it's important that the
business objectives behind their implementation are sound.
It's also important to make the most of what you have. Some
companies use barely 10 percent of the functionality of their
supply chain management system. Distinct point solutions or
smaller releases within a larger IT program can often add more to
the bottom line than large scale, multi-year IT projects. We work
with you to make sure your technology is working for you. |
