The last three years have thrown up challenges to Supply Chains like never before and, as we enter a New Year, global product supply and domestic demand remain unpredictable.
However, with challenges come opportunities. Proactive businesses will be looking at developing profitable models for various scenarios including the end of Chinese Covid restrictions and the scale of a UK recession. With years of Supply Chain experience, Davies & Robson can assist in helping your business get ahead of the competition by re-setting its operational structure to match the market conditions in the following areas:
- Strategic Planning & Leadership – ensure you have a plan and contingencies in these uncertain times.
- Warehousing – ensure you have sufficient capacity in the optimum locations.
- Demand Planning – it’s more important than ever to model plans for a range of forecast future volumes.
- Sustainability – all businesses will need to make changes. Can this be used as a competitive advantage now?
- Last Mile Logistics – this is increasingly becoming a business differentiator.
- Omnichannel – we see continued development and growth. Can your business cater for all eventualities?
- Supply Chains – recalculation and restructuring of relationships may be needed.
- Stock Policies – in response to extended lead times, should stock holding be increased, product ranges reduced, and products sourced locally?
- Automation & IT Infrastructure – is now the time to make that next investment?
- Mergers & Acquisitions – is now a good time to acquire a business for future growth plans?
- Market Intelligence – use independent analysis to support your strategic direction.
Whatever your business resolutions, Davies & Robson are here to support with critical business decision making. Please contact us on 01327 349090 to discuss how we can assist with the development of your supply chain plans or email dboulton@daviesrobson.co.uk.
