Supply Chain Audit

 

Supply chain excellence has a real impact on business strategy. Supply chain management is a high impact mission that goes to the roots of a company's very competitiveness. High-impact supply chains win market share and customer loyalty, create shareholder value, extend the strategic capability and reach of the business.

 
     
 

Independent research shows that excellent supply chain management can yield:

 
 
   

25-50% reduction in total supply chain costs

   

25-60% reduction in inventory holding

   

25-80% increase in forecast accuracy

   

30-50% improvement in order-fulfilment cycle time

   

20% increase in after-tax free cash flows

       
 
 

That's what we mean by high-impact.

 
     
 

Does a high-impact supply chain leverage your business enterprise?
