Supply Chain

Distribution

Distribution is the very visible front end of the Supply Chain Management process and must be optimised for financial success of any organisation. We can help with:

distribution network planning
transportation flow diagrams
demand analysis and forecasting
economically optimum inventory levels
auditing and revitalising DRP process
nested KPIs

Our aim is to tailor a solution to the client's needs and implement in a manner that will lead to a quick acceptance and rapid transfer of ownership to stakeholders.

Procurement

A robust supply chain requires that procurement is seen to be more than a release of purchase orders. It should rather be seen as a process where suppliers become stakeholders in the business. To help you achieve this outcome we offer:

needs analysis and identification of key success factors
assessment of vendors and service providers
risk analysis
fault tolerant supply chain design
contract documentation
contract administration tools
automated information exchange

It cannot be stressed enough that while parties negotiate at arms length and aim to maximise benefits to themselves, it is important that parties are mutually aware of the business risks that they are accepting and are committed to a cooperative execution of contracts.

Production Planning

It is taken for granted that a manufacturing business will do whatever is necessary to achieve efficiencies and be able to minimise costs. What distinguishes a succesful business from others is the degree of coupling between the market and manufacturing. Production planning is the process that delivers this coupling. We can help you improve using the following:

mapping of production processes
optimising material flows within the factory
determining economic batch sizes
increase production velocity and determine lead times
audit and set up MRP manufacturing resource planning
automated production scheduling
improved manufacturing execution system
nested KPIs linking up to corporate objectives

Using appropriate software tools we will take the pain out of the production planning and control.
