Organisational development for supply chain and logistics

The aim of our program is to develop a road map for organisations to improve the quality and effectiveness of its resources who work in a supply chain or logistics capacity. We focus on building internal capacity for your organisation by conducting an initial review of the existing supply chain, logistics or warehouse structure to:

Develop an understanding of the function the resource is required to perform
Assess the level of competency of the resource by working collaboratively on a number of tasks to develop an insight into their ability to complete the works, the approach taken, the challenges experienced, time taken and the achievement of the final outcome.
Measure the results of the assessment by comparing typical tasks and processes within similar industries
Develop a skills matrix that is representative of the outcomes by resource.
Identify opportunities or skills gaps that require additional training or development for the resource to achieve the acceptable level of performance for the task
Gauge their ability to develop, embrace and utilise new technologies.

How can your supply chain and logistics functions be effective?

We have recognised that in order to achieve effective organisational development for supply chain and logistics personnel, organisations must have a framework in place that consists of the following components with the sole objective of achieving alignment through the business plan to the strategy:

Vision or mission
Corporate governance
Strategic planning
Business plans alliged with the strategies
Program development
Opportunity for learning through development of their resources
Clear accountability
Human Resource management
Management systems
Policies and Procedures
Collaboration

Effective organisations have adopted a continuous improvement approach that encourages their resources to develop their skills and capability while at the same time organisational management systems, procedures and policies are amended to reflect the pace of the organisation. While new products are being introduced along with new markets opportunities, supply chain and logistics resources are also encouraged to embrace new technologies, learn how to operate a new type of equipment etc as part of this continuous improvement process.

Select a Supply Chain and Logistics Assessment that identifies real improvement.

We offer a range of assessments that are tailored to specific functions within your organisation that require review. Depending on the scope of works or the scale of your organisation, our assessments are typically completed within 2 weeks of commencement for single site entities. Reference sites are available on request.
