The Supply Chain Center
Where Strategy, Operations, and Technology Come Together

Today, more and more companies are turning away from software as the single answer to their supply chain challenges.  Even though hundreds of Billions of dollars have been spent on software, companies are realizing that 90% of all savings come from process improvement. 

In a series of studies conducted by Aberdeen Group, they validated the fact that process-oriented Strategic Actions are the most cost effective solution to the challenges of the 21st Century Supply Chain. 

The tables below show the relative ranking of Business Drivers faced by companies and the relative ranking of most common Strategic Actions they are undertaking.

The Supply Chain Center aids in reducing the pressures and implementing the solutions for companies that make, move, and manage products & services.  We have found that it is the ‘basics’ of improving inventory fill rates, on-time delivery, less process variability, better forecasting, greater predictability, labor productivity, and others that drive success.  Making meaningful changes in the flow of Products, Information, and Cash drive improvements in revenue growth, financial performance, and customer satisfaction.  

In the final analysis, Supply Chain Management is all about Inventory and Information.  Planning for it, buying  it, determining how to pay for it, where to move it, what to do with it, when to deliver it, how to collect for it, and how to service it; knowing the capabilities of the Supply Chain, how it responds to Adverse Events, knowing customer’s Value Discipline & how to meet expectations, where to best increase capacity, and where & how to reduce costs.  The Supply Chain Center delivers on these and other key aspects of Inventory & Information to ensure that your company realizes the financial & operational promises of a High Performing Supply Chain.
