Supply Chain Optimisation
Many supply chains evolve through growth or scarcity and have been formed as a reaction to some external stimulus. Rarely is the supply chain tailored to suit the technical, financial, or service requirements of the customer and these features are normally achieved through a series of design compromises: supplier redundancy and duplication, location of critical suppliers – with attendant logistics challenges, to name but two.
We have worked with an increasing number of clients to align their supply chains to their value requirement, in terms of total cost of acquisition, speed and responsiveness, and innovation capability. Restructuring multi tiered supply chains along demand streams, ensures lowest cost of supply and manages the risk profile in a proactive way, both from a business continuity and working capital standpoint.
How is your supply chain performing for you and is it future proof?
On joining the business it became clear that a new long term strategy was required to steer the business through a turbulent political and economic environment.
We worked with Davie on developing a strategy that both pointed the business on a route that navigated those challenges but also addressed the wider initiatives of our owning group.
We recognised the need for solid building blocks in areas to improve but with a vision flexible enough to take us through a changing environment.
I’m really pleased to say that our business plan is now routed firmly in c2c and supported by our stakeholders as a step change in the operation of the business.
Davies manner is warm and personable, using his vast corporate experience to draw parallels and help focus the planning sessions.
