Evaluate

Our dedicated specialists and change management experts have an average of 10 years experience working with some of the most complex global supply chains. With our advice and support companies are able to benchmark and improve performance, drive forward new programmes and ensure the right technologies are deployed to meet their requirements.

Note that these priorities tend to change over time so it is important to understand the up to date business environment as a context for logistics transformation.

It measures:

• Growth / Consolidation – is the business in an expansion phase or consolidating?
• Profitability – is revenue development and market share a higher priority than pure profit?
• Service / Cost to Serve – is improving service for customers a priority or balanced with costs to serve?
• CSR / Sustainability – how high a priority does the business give corporate and social responsibility?
• Planning horizon – is the focus on long term strategic, medium tactical or short term operational change?
• Competition – how competitive is the industry in which the business operates?
• Legislation – does legislative compliance dominate thinking or is it business as usual?
• Geography – are we looking at global operations or just a specific geography?
• In / Out Sourced – is logistics primarily outsourced or managed in house?
• Network Scope – are we considering multiple facilities across the supply chain or just a subset?

After defining the priorities within your business, we will assess the following 6 pillars of supply chain in the business and how we define target business benefits and drivers that influence them:

• People – logistics team structure and skillset
• Process – logistics processes
• Place – logistics physical network and structure
• Partners – logistics service provider and technology partners
• Platform – logistics information systems, technology and data
• Performance – logistics performance indicators and values

These are assessed against industry best practices in supply chains to determine the key areas for improvement to raise the overall level of supply chain maturity.

This is used to prioritise projects that can deliver the greatest return and where short term rapid return projects can help fund long term change projects.

During the workshops we will identify a number of improvement opportunities which we will position in the Future Supply Chain Appraisal Summary matrix:
