supply planning & procurement assessment
Does your business constantly receive large volumes of stock at the wrong time of the month that just sits in a queue until your limited resources can allocate time and effort to receive the delivery into inventory?
Organisations that are operating on the basis of "bulk purchases" that trigger a discount or outdated blanket order policies without frequent validation against changing consumer demand patterns will continue to experience high levels of the wrong inventory, lengthy process cycle times and increased supply chain costs.
Our Supply Planning assessment will identify those problem areas and create improvement opportunities that will improve the overall supply planning process and reduce your supply chain costs by focusing on holding the right inventory levels.
