Supply Chain Coach

Improved supply chain management will enable you to

1. Get clear and complete data for informed decision-making, so that you can

Accurately determine the ROA/ROI for inventory, trucks, and other assets within the supply chain.
Identify unprofitable processes and merchandise.
Keep costs proportional to the revenue they generate.
Analyze the least cost of replenishment to stores from the implementation of vendor direct shipments to the optimizing of shipments across vendors.
Develop a dynamic optimization routing system to always pick lowest cost mode of transportation from small parcel to truckloads when managing inventory with a point of sale pull system.
Improve profits and sales by reducing shipping costs though optimizing freight across customers.

2. Benchmark your company’s supply chain performance against competitors and industry averages in a range of areas, from warehouse performance to inventory turns to on-time delivery to cost-per-pound to cost-of- transportation-as-a-percentage-of-sales.

3. Improve your cash flow by saving on inbound and outbound freight expense, reducing distribution costs, and reducing inventory levels.

You may also want to consider these questions:

Would an improved supply chain be a competitive edge?
Do you have a methodology for stratifying your inventory?
Would you like to save money and provide better service by being in control of inbound deliveries and measuring vendor performance?

Our supply chain coaches not only show your managers how to improve your supply chain but train them, on the job, so that they develop the expertise to make continuous improvements and adjust to changes – such as new product lines – that will impact your supply chain in the future.
