Supply Chain Planning
Nowhere is the maximum quantum of value lost in a manufacturing company as its Supply Chain. Just the sheer size of operations - the Distribution Network, the Plant, the Tankages, Feedstock procurement- means vast incremental possibilities of improvement - be it Demand Planning or Visibility or Production Planning or Distribution scheduling- each can yield non-linear benefits for the company.
We have been involved at various stages of Supply Chain Planning projects from early stage Business Process definition and design/redesign right upto complete handover of daily use planning and scheduling systems for the Supply Chain personnel. Among other areas, we have been active in:
- Audit of existing Supply Chain Planning Process and Systems
- Strategies for reducing planning cycle times
- Integrated Feedstock Procurement, Production and Distribution planning
- Plan vs Actuals for all areas in the Supply Chain
- Design and Implementation of Forecasting, Planning and Scheduling Software
- Optimization of Storage and Transportation

However it is important for a company to first analyze and prioritize in a specific order as to where the best areas of improvements lie and then only embark on any improvement programs.
|
We typically start with a brief 1-2 week engagement to understand your current pain points and using our unique methodology map out and prioritize requirements. This unique methodology comes from the long experience of our team members in the core functions of Supply Chain in the industries of our choice.

Our subsequent engagements with you build on this first key piece. All our assignments have resulted in direct impact on at least one key areas like Inventory, Forecasting, Network and Production Planning and Supply Chain Visibility.
