Avoiding supply chain stumbles

What’s the bottom line?

  • Share

Cost savings is just one of many benefits that operations executives can achieve by redesigning the organization's operating model and standardizing end-to-end supply chain roles, processes and controls.

Other benefits include:

  • Alignment of operational strategies with corporate sales and/or marketing goals for market share growth and competitive positioning
  • Identification and evaluation of better network design strategies for manufacturing, distribution, assembly, and back-office global locations
  • Development of performance metrics to realize operational strategies
  • Identification of non-value-added assets and operations that could be consolidated or outsourced

Profitability for many organizations may be returning, but top-line growth remains elusive. As a result, business leaders are seeking a new generation of productivity gains. To achieve this next order of efficiency, companies need to take a global view of their operating model.

Through standardization, operations can achieve the efficiencies the business seeks.
