WE AIM TO ENSURE YOUR SUPPLY CHAINS ADD VALUE
While we do focus on working with all levels in optimizing performance, which involves raising engagement across the entire supply chain, we are focused coaching and training the executive and heads of departments on ensuring the strategic level decisions that will drive and enable the transactional functions achieve customer service levels targeted.
The strategic element of supply chains includes:
- Understanding market segments
- Gap analysis
- Formulating strategies
- Structuring drivers of this function
Knowing what decisions need to be made regarding how you want your supply chain to operate is essential in giving direction to the team.
Whether through consulting, interim management roles, coaching, or training courses we guarantee all will have a much greater understanding of how to perform roles within your company.
Cascading these objectives, strategies and measures down through the business leads to improved levels of engagement, confidence and achievement over time, realising lower costs and improved performance levels.
At Coterie we offer the following vehicles to achieve performance improvements across the supply chain.
- Strategic decision making consultations.
- Consultations on optimising performance levels.
- Interim management of supply chain functions.
- Coaching of teams or individuals on processes and skills.
- Formal training courses.
Employee Empowerment
All improvements we make must be sustainable!
By raising knowledge, skills, and abilities within your teams, their levels of engagement and confidence improve. Knowledge fosters passion, which raises profitability.
Determining Demand
Without an accurate demand forecast the organization has to make allowances for all possible scenarios. This adds costs across the business. Often, accurate demand forecasts are either not in place or not achieving >90% accuracy.
Selecting Partners
You can’t be competitive without support from your suppliers. It is impossible to optimize costs on your own! It is essential your selected supply base support your goals. Align with suppliers…
Inventory Optimisation
Optimizing inventory reduces costs throughout the supply chain. To position inventory across supply chains, take advantage of push/pull boundaries to benefit all parties.
Aligning to Goals
Objectives can only be achieved if everyone who has a role to play are aligned on ensuring supply meets forecasted demand! Goals and strategies, across the business, need to be clearly defined and shared.
Internal structures together with external partners need to influence the results in a positive manner.
Meaningful Metrics
Many companies talk far too much about what needs to be done! The amount of time spent actually doing something pales in comparison. Don’t just talk about it! Measure it! Results will follow.
