Supply Chain & Logistics Strategy
The globalisation of business is dramatically altering the way in which organisations need to configure their supply chains. Increasing competition is placing greater emphasis on global supply and there is an increasing requirement for suppliers to build to order and respond to “demand pull” rather than “supply push”. Resulting benefits are faster delivery, reduced lead times and reduced obsolescence. However, extended supply chains are not without risk and the impact of failure is often many times greater than was the case in the past.
Configuring the supply chain correctly is now an essential element in a company’s success.
For those companies wishing to review the operation of their supply chain,
Davies & Robson has extensive experience in supply chain design and the provision of a range of services that include:
Supply chain modelling to determine the optimum logistics infrastructure for different traffic profiles and order quantities
Analysis of the current and future IT systems necessary to manage the operation
Transport mode selection in order to meet agreed service levels, traffic profiles, stock holding targets and operating costs
Advice on services available from national and international carriers and logistics service providers
Technical design of warehouses and in house transport networks
A key to our success has been our ability to combine complex analysis of data flows with a practical knowledge of operations and the services available in the market place.
