Risk management
The need
50% of supply chain owners now outsource
their transport and/or distribution - but satisfaction levels remain
low. Over 45% of the outsourced customers do not expect to renew
with their current provider. How do you ensure you are getting
the best service at the best price?
The Weir approach
We look at your highly complex
network of impacts – within the company, across the
supply chain and beyond the supply chain – and uncover the
clear way to deliver efficiency and effectiveness improvements,
whilst maintaining equitable relationships with key stakeholders
and accurate decision support data. Our supply chain management
expertise helps reduce inventory as well as cost without eroding
service.
Inventory
management may involve the development of a dynamic stock policy.
Understanding the true end-to-end cost of servicing each customer,
sales channel or product – to identify non-added value activity
to reduce avoidable costs. Essential for Channel/Distribution
reviews. We develop your ‘Cost To Serve’ process to
reflect the environmental cost of your operations and determine
your Triple Bottom Line Profit.
The diagram below shows the complexity of issues
to be managed at three levels: within the company (pale blue inner
ring), across the supply chain (middle ring), and beyond the supply
chain (outer ring). Total supply chain Sustainability demands management
of all four quadrants and at all three levels.
