Supply Chain Operations and Processes
The Importance of Good Supply Chain Design
Designed and operated correctly, the supply chain will help you develop better relationships
with customers, boost your competitive standing and achieve broader business objectives...
three powerful reasons to make sure you get things right first time, every time.
Supply Chain Design and Operation
We can perform, or help you to undertake, operational reviews of your supply
chain. We will analyse your processes and design effective systems and
procedures for managing all aspects of the supply chain:
Demand management
Service criteria
Manufacturing policies
Purchasing
Materials planning
Inbound logistics
Scheduling
Work-in-progress
Warehousing and stock control
Outbound logistics
Customer service
We will identify the important value and cost drivers, determine the
performance measures and process controls needed to improve and maintain an
efficient supply chain.
We can define your operational requirements for information systems, whether
it's the processing and recording of transactions, or the sharing of knowledge
and business-critical information. We can write functional specifications for
application software, configure and help you to implement bespoke and package
solutions.
Bespoke software solutions are impractical for many
companies; the burden of maintenance and development is just too much. Many
business units are required to adopt corporate solutions, which have been
selected, sometimes, with scant regard for local requirements. As a
consequence, companies often feel that their business is compromised by having
to adapt to package solutions. And software suppliers are often unsympathetic
to genuine concerns about the difficulties of using their products.
ACUITY specialises in creative use of package solutions to meet real business
needs - whether it's re-implementing an existing package or helping you to find
a new one . We will help you to adjust your practices without compromising the
overall process or its delivery:
productivity and efficiency
accuracy
reduced cycle time
customer service.
driving the supply engine to meet the growing demands of service-oriented customers
