The business environment is very turbulent and change very fast: organic growth, mergers and acquisitions, new locations, new products, high demand variability, customers demanding higher service level, and so on. How we manage the supply chain trade-offs and implement the right supply chain strategies can make a difference of thousands or millions of dollars annually. We will review your company inventory, transportation, and production strategies, performing a holistic optimization of the end to end supply chain.

How can we guarantee the quality of our products and services without a well-defined process? How can we grow profitable without robust, consistent, and replicable processes? How can we customize and automate the information system without a previous process mapping analysis and improvement? We will analyze the value of processes and activities, the problems with processes, redundant activities, wastes, opportunities to implement best practices, and metrics to guarantee you have the best class processes in place.

One of the main goals of the supply chain function is to translate business strategy to supply chain strategy. To achieve this goal, we need to define what should be the key metrics and service levels to create a competitive advantage. Additionally, a performance hierarchy should be implemented to understand not only the overall health of your supply chain, but also to determine diagnostic and rote-cause metrics that allow you to identify issues quickly, and put in place required action plans. To design an agile supply chain, we will not base our decisions only on historical data, but also on predictive and prescriptive analysis.

Viewing different parts of the business as silo functions would most likely lead to costly suboptimal decisions. The optimized S&OP process recognizes demand variability early and gives you a holistic view of the business to be able to balance demand and supply across the enterprise. The process empowers your middle management to make decisions and formulate recommendations for monthly executive meetings regarding sales volumes, production rates, levels of inventory, customer back-orders, and financial performance. Optimizing the S&OP process will bring you important improvements in forecast accuracy, reductions of inventory, and will increase customer satisfaction.
