Supply Chain Management Consultancy
The role of supply chain management consultancy has never been more relevant as customers demand better quality, design, innovation, choice, convenience and service for less money, effort, time and risk.
Supply chain management is a company's cardio vascular system. It's the lifeblood of goods and services firstly flowing into the business, then being converted before finally being delivered to end clients. It consists of numerous different elements ranging from: the purchasing of goods and services from suppliers, the associated inbound logistics and warehousing, subsequent manufacture, finished goods, warehousing, despatch, delivery and customer service.
The discipline of supply chain management is also about optimising the whole system, rather than optimising sub-systems at the expense of the whole. Supply chain management consultants assist clients in making the right decisions across all aspects of their supply chain activities.
As such, supply chain management consultancy can thus be understood as the science of integrating the flow of goods and information from initial sourcing to delivery to the end user. Good consultants assist clients through the entire process of supply chain management by helping them establish their requirements, providing analysis and improving the business processes and the infrastructure required to support them to maximise performance. Amongst other things, this end-to-end approach involves providing assistance for purchasing, production planning, order processing and fulfillment, inventory management, transportation, distribution and customer service etc.
It is important to select consultants very carefully. To do this clients' first need to establish what they require from their supply chains, so at Executive Interims - Supply Chain Practice, we use rigorous diagnostic tools to compare client's capabilities with best practise and by doing so identify a selection of opportunities for improvement in such a way, which is likely to maximise our clients' ROCE. We then use structured methodologies to address the identified issues, and deliver the necessary implemented changes.
