Supply Chain Management
Is your company faced with the need to reduce costs, improve supplier performance or achieve a greater competitive advantage? If so, Supply Chain Management may be a solution that can help you to accomplish these goals. Supply Chain Management offers companies new muscle in the battle to improve their profitability and create a distinct marketing advantage. Many companies have found that Supply Chain Management can improve customer satisfaction, increase cycle-time, and reduce downtime, energy usage, raw material usage, fugitive emissions, warranty claims, and many other costs.

In fact, we have worked with companies to reduce over 100 different types of costs beyond simply the price paid for goods and services. Some of our clients have been able to reduce total costs to a level equal to a 30% reduction in the price paid, and one of them reduced their operating costs by over $70 million dollars a year. While you may not see this type of savings, what would a reduction in operating costs equal to 10% of your annual expenditures in your key spend areas do for your profitability? We can help you:
  • Create an understanding throughout your company of the advantages for working with suppliers to accomplish your objectives and reduce your total operating costs.
  • Segment your suppliers based on the impact they can provide, and therefore the effort you need apply in working with them.
  • Determine which Supply Chain Management initiatives offer you the greatest opportunities at the lowest risk.
  • Learn to measure suppliers based on the Total Cost of Ownership (dollars), so you can make total cost purchasing decisions.
Supply Chain Management offers companies tremendous opportunities. And while it is one of the most talked about strategies in business today, it is also one of the most misunderstood. Too often efforts are focused on price, a few process improvements and inventory reductions. There is so much more that suppliers can help you to accomplish. Let us show you what the impact can be by working with just one of the commodity / service spending areas. We're sure you'll gain a new perspective on the power of supply chain management for your organization.
