Supply chain management
In an age with rising customer demands, increasing pressure on cost control, it becomes increasingly essential to maintain operational effectiveness and efficiency.
Especially achieving effectiveness and efficiency of purchasing, production, delivery processes and related planning activities within the scope of supply chain management is essential because these activities take place in the center of company operations and play a major role in achieving and sustaining competitive advantage.
As Deloitte, we provide improvement projects throughout the whole supply chain. A sample of worksteps within this scope is as follows:
- Detailed analysis of planning, purchasing, production and distribution processes
- Identification of improvement opportunities
- Design of processes via benchmarking global best practices
- Software package vendor selection in implementation of the designed processes
- Implementation of these software packages
- APS (advanced planning and scheduling) programs are examples for this kind of software packages. Some sample benefits achieved by an average APS implementation are:
- Cost reduction (decrease in total inventory, increase in inventory turnover)
- Improvement in customer service level, increase in effectiveness of order fulfillment
- Efficient use of production, distribution, warehouse assets via effective planning
