Customer Operation Diagnose
Many organisations who operate low cost supply chain constantly encounter various problems. To tackle these issues, most of them are focusing on making changes at the supply end. This often gets them into a fire-fighting situation.
Our experience reveals that many inherent operation procedures and policies, mis-perceptions of low cost supply chain, and a lack of well structured strategy at customer end often lead to some critical issues.
SupplyWeaver starts the assessment from customer end, diagnose the healthiness of low cost supply chain and bring in positive changes to customer's operation.
THE ACTIONS INCLUDE
Checks On Strategy : Do you have the right mix of low cost suppliers, at the right locations, with the right spend/category for each of them? How well are your Local and Central procurement team and processes structured? Are you buying too much or too little from low cost sources? Are you relying too much on agents(or unaware some suppliers are agents)? Etc.
Operation Examination: Do you have fit for purpose operation procedures for low cost supply chain? Do you analyze 3Vs (Volume, Variety, and Volatility) of your products? Are you giving too much or too little to your suppliers? How clear are your instructions and specifications? How do you manage the risks and do you have a plan B? Etc.
Problem Analysis: For specific problems, we analyze the root causes, present solutions and provide suggestions on how to avoid similar issues in the future.
