Differentiating The Supply Chain Center
Delivering the benefits from the full spectrum of Supply Chain Management is one element that makes us unique. The Supply Chain Center approaches this task with two basic hypotheses
- That you will achieve 90% of your overall results from Process Improvements. This is why we emphasize making your processes more effective and efficient. We can assist in reengineering, designing, streamlining, and aligning the processes across your extended enterprise.
- That your current systems (ERP or Business Systems) are sufficient to meet current and future needs. Even if you believe that a new system is required, we don’t start out throwing software at the problem. We believe that we owe our clients a full analysis of their System Investment because we’ve found that software isn’t a Supply Solution; it is an enabler. If you in fact require new systems or applications, we will rapidly determine this. Studies have proven that new software as a starting point often fails to meet expectations.
Intelligent application of tailored solutions. We’ve spent years thinking about and evaluating businesses and methods such as Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, TQM, and others. This critical thinking has produced solid design and implementation methodologies that have paid dividends for our clients. Our simple, yet innovative & effective solutions such as LatCom™ and RightFlow™ are not cookie cutter approaches. Our solutions are tailored to give you a unique competitive advantage that is compatible with your Value Discipline and Operating Model.
Principles rather than practices will keep you ahead of the Power Curve in terms of Revenue Growth, Financial Performance, and Customer Satisfaction. While “best practices” can not be ignored when a company wants to improve their competitive advantage, we have found that all too often it becomes a “Me Too” strategy. If “everyone is doing it” how does that make you better? Very often companies fail because they take “best practices” of Dell, GE Appliances, or Wal-Mart and try to apply them to their organization. Failure is prevalent when they attempt to take these practices without fully understanding the Principles that these leaders used to make their model successful. The Supply Chain Center solves this problem by starting with the correct Principles to ensure success.
Our Leaders are involved in the solution, not just the selling. You benefit from our talent on day one and throughout the project. The Supply Chain Center has topflight consultants who work under the direct leadership of the onsite Principal assigned to your project. You benefit from the industry experience and knowledge of the best supply chain minds in the business. This is why our Value Based Project Model is so successful for our clients.
