Supply Chain Strategy
Network Design and Optimization
We will help you analyze your end-to-end supply chain network and craft a plan for dramatic transformation. Our approach is to emphasize the least total cost for meeting customer requirements and other business objectives. If appropriate, we will help you leverage sophisticated network optimization software that has demonstrated the ability to identify millions of dollars in savings for many companies. We find significant cost reduction opportunities for organizations that have been though mergers/divestitures or have historically relied upon transportation expenses to determine infrastructure.
Contract Manufacturing
We will help you analyze the best strategic alternatives for leveraging the services of contract manufacturers. Our approach begins with a very close analysis of what is or should be your core competencies. Areas that should not be core competencies for you are candidates for developing partnerships with other organizations. Our experts will help you craft a strategy and find the right partners. We will also help you explore areas where you have best in class capabilities and can grow your business by becoming a contract manufacturer for other organizations.
Integration of Acquisitions
The integration of organizations after an acquisition is very challenging. This is also a process that provides an enormous opportunity to improve effectiveness and reduce the cost structure of the merged organization. Our experts will help you identify the relative strengths of each organization, craft a plan to leverage the best practices of each, and then execute the changes required to successfully integrate into a unified and effective organization.
