Based on lead thinking and hands-on experience in developing supply chain strategies for multi-channel blue chip companies we ensure that your supply chain is fully aligned to your business strategy and seamlessly integrated with your marketing and sales strategies.
We review the client company business strategy and marketing and sales strategies and develop a supply chain strategy accordingly. We not only incorporate sourcing and procurement, inbound logistics, manufacturing as well as outbound logistics in the supply chain strategy. If channel strategies exist or can be derived from the marketing strategy we use this to guide us in the development of a truly end to end supply chain.
Recommendations for change in the supply chain should never be made without understanding its impact on cost and service. We run the numbers to help you determine the optimum network, inventory levels and the most efficient and cost-effective way to move items through your supply chain to your customer. As a supply chain strategy, we ensure that:
- A distribution assessment is made, where an analysis is made of the key variable such as the market route, the value chain players, the major distributors in the market and the channel dynamics.
- A Voice of Customer assessment is also touched on, where the customers are the target and this helps shape the supply chain requirements.
