You may be missing opportunities to improve on-time shipping to customers – while at the same time lowering costs
Shortages from your component material suppliers can affect on-time delivery of finished
products to your customers. To address this problem, our coaches work with your
managers to develop a supply chain structure that gives you visibility into inbound
shipments and enables you to more effectively schedule manufacturing while at the same
time reducing raw material inventories.
They can also analyze your distribution center network to see if you can
- Actually improve your customer fill rates with fewer distribution centers. This counter-
intuitive result is possible because you may currently be spreading your inventory over
too many distribution centers, which can cause shortages.
- Relocate centers to improve service to your customers and reduce costs.
- Use a pool point delivery network to optimize and consolidate shipments.
Our coaches take you beyond one-time improvements because they help your managers
develop the expertise to redesign shipping and distribution center processes as needed
in the future.
