STRATEGIC PLANNING

Supports our clients in defining their supply chain strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating their resources to pursue this strategy. A key part of this offering is to understand our client’s current position and the possible avenues through which they can pursue a particular course of action.

Supply Chain Transformation

Supply chain transformation is targeted at clients seeking to re-position their supply chain for significant and sustainable value creation.

The key objectives are utilising the supply chain as a means to create a competitive advantage in the marketplace, increasing the scope of the supply chain from functional domains to a more holistic view (i.e. cross-functional, relationship with other internal units, and extended supply chain) and deploying an appropriate balance of internal and external capabilities.

Supply Chain Merger Integration

Pre- and post-merger integration support targeted at ensuring that supply chain costs, capabilities, and capacities optimally meet the needs of merged organisations. This offering identifies and rationalises redundant operations, systems, and processes while laying a foundation for future growth and success.

Supply Chain Collaboration

Supply Chain Collaboration is primarily defined in five core categories which are integrated supply chain management (internal collaboration to balance expected demand with supply), collaborative planning and forecasting (sharing of forecasts and supply plans with business partners as well as commitments against those), collaborative order and inventory management (sharing of transactions like POs, SOs, GRNs, etc. with business partners), collaborative data management (external and internal master data management of material, vendor, capacity, product configurations, etc.), and collaborative transportation management (collaboration with 3PL providers at both planning such as planned shipments, routings, etc., and operational levels such as ASNs, BoL, etc.).

Sales & Operational Planning

The objective of Sales & Operational Planning is the formulation of a single plan that articulates the sales, materials requirements and distribution, targets to be achieved throughout the business in the future.
