Interim Logistics Consultants
As businesses understand more and more
about successfully delivering change and more specifically
improving logistics operations, it's recognised
that to deliver the desired outcome, its better to take
a team (or teams) off-line and dedicate them to the purpose,
and that purpose alone. However, it's less and less likely
that organisations will have sufficient external resources
of the right calibre available, just "waiting in the wings"
when such projects should start.
Interim logistics
consultants have proved time and time again to be a vital
and valuable means of not only flexing resources, but
bringing a "fresh pair of eyes" to help a business compare
its operations more objectively against the supply chain
practises of other businesses and the requisite level
of expert knowledge to guide the team to successfully
deliver the breakthrough levels of performance that are
required on time and to budget. See some of our interim management case studies.
Although we do provide
consultants who are outstanding generalists across a range
of logistics consultancy and interim management disciplines,
what differentiates Executive Interims - Supply Chain
Practice is our ability to provide our clients with interim
logistics consultants who are demonstrably expert in their
particular field.
If for example a client wishes to rationalise
their warehouse locations in a region, whilst reconfiguring
inbound and outbound networks accordingly to
reduce operational costs, inventory carrying costs and
to free up cash, then an interim logistics consultant who has done exactly that for another organisation is
often of more value to a client than generalists who possibly
could do it.
This principle applies similarly to a range of important projects, for example: capital investment projects, projects to optimise inventory and customer service levels, programmes to deliver improvements in customer service levels and the wide range of specialist IT system configurations and implementations; including, Forecasting, EPOS, e-Fulfillment, Sales Order Processing, Warehouse Management Systems etc.
Executive Interims - Supply Chain Practice
also provides its clients with Interim logistics consultants
to cover senior operational roles on a business-as-usual
basis, to for example, backfill for extended executive
absences or recruitment periods. Their typical roles may
include managing warehouse operations, running a distribution
network, supply chain forecasting or running a customer service operation.
Executive Interims - Supply Chain
Practice specialises
in supply chain consulting and the provision of interim management services, so if you're looking for an interim logistics consultant don't hesitate
to contact us to talk through what you want to achieve.
