Supply Chain Process Management
With our service Supply Chain Management services, you will receive an implementable strategic roadmap for the end-to-end supply chain that supports and grows your overall business. We develop standardized, repeatable processes that facilitate operational visibility and sustainability.
On your behalf, we will engage and interview your stakeholders in multiple departments about pain points and priorities, analyze your as-is situation, re-engineer your processes and develop a strategic plan.
- STEP 1. Process analysis (end-to-end diagnostic)
Do you have limited transparency of your current supply chain performance? How well do your processes support the company’s business activities? We will conduct a “maturity assessment” and identify efficiency gaps and opportunities for optimization and cost savings.
- STEP 2. Re-engineering (supply chain re-design)
Our team undertakes models multiple scenarios and recommends an optimal design. We also provide an implementation plan.
- STEP 3. Supply chain strategy, set-up, and governance
We will provide a clear implementation plan that aligns key cost and service metrics. In parallel, we can work to understand where selective investments in new planning technologies make the most sense, so you can move quickly to fill in the capability gaps.
The benefits of the recommended scenarios may offer cost savings of 5-8%.

Unprecedented change and seismic shifts in the energy and chemical industry continue to challenge oil and gas companies. Leveraging logistics can help to optimize cost, grow businesses, and reach strategic goals.
Upstream
In this new normal, upstream oil and gas companies are establishing strategic partnerships with logistics service providers to achieve cost optimization and innovation.
Downstream
Downstream companies are leveraging logistics for growth, especially in developing markets; and chemicals organizations are seeking to transform their supply chains.
Renewable
Additional sector challenges and opportunities include exciting developments in renewable energy, the call for zero emissions, increasing HSSE requirements, and heightened M&A activity. The global reach and the political, economic, and social impact of the sector will continue to keep it relevant.
Disruptive technology-driven trends are impacting the automotive industry and will continue to do so over the next few decades.
Key trends include autonomous driving, connected cars, and electrification and these trends are not merely reshaping the automotive industry but actually fostering the convergence of the automotive industry and the technology industry.
At the same time, industry suppliers are facing severe downward cost pressure. The choice of transportation mode – road, rail, ocean, and air – is more and more impacted by automotive electrification.
For example, the shipping of batteries and other electrical components by air used to be justified in case of long distances to minimize inventory capital costs. Today, because of the overall objective to reduce carbon emissions, the producers now try to avoid a heavy carbon footprint in their supply chains. Oftentimes, the customer segmentation process may help producers to optimize the planning of demand and supply of spare parts. Reducing distribution centers, optimizing product flows, and ensuring effective carrier management may lead to improved logistics network.
Today, many technology companies consider shifting their production locations. There could be many reasons for this – to cut production costs, reduce customer lead times, or move closer to suppliers – and sometimes it is because of product line changes. Whatever the underlying reasons, any redesign of the production model requires a concurrent redesign of the supply chain network.
