As a shipper, your organisation operates in a competitive market, which requires a competitive supply chain, operating in accordance with your strategy. And just as you need to change your company’s strategy from time to time, in order to stay competitive you will need to change your supply chain accordingly. With many organisations supply chains have grown “organically” with your organisation’s expansion and under changing environments the structure of your supply chain may prove to have become inadequate: its effects are inefficiencies in your flow of goods, resulting in higher costs. If your organisation experiences such problems, it becomes advisable to redesign your supply chain.
Your supply chain is a complex structure that encompasses all your organisation’s physical flows of goods. Redesign may apply to any variable in your supply chain: from the purchasing of raw materials and basic resources up to the very delivery of your products to end-consumers and all in between. Therefore, redesign may relate to any part of your supply chain, [e.g. a restructuring of your production facilities, a relocation or readjustment of your warehouses, a restructuring of your transport network or a redefining of your points to de-couple.
Whatever its targeted area, the redesign’s goal is always improvement of your supply chain, in parts or in its entirety.
Within your organisation you undoubtedly have officials managing your logistic processes and who are competent to deal with everyday contingencies. However, a thorough redesign of your supply chain is a strategic project of a different order that requires knowledge, skills and experience, which your officials may not sufficiently possess; it is by its very nature a rare event, therefore it is difficult to acquire and maintain the necessary skills and knowledge, let alone the necessary experience.
Even if your organisation’s officials do possess the necessary requirements for a successful redesign, these experts will be needed elsewhere in your organisation to run its regular operations.
For such instances, Unique Change has at its disposal a number of consultants on supply chain redesign, saving your own (human) resources for their primary task: to keep operations running. Our consultants will create the optimum design for your new supply chain and are also able to introduce your staff to the new structure.
Unique Change is transparent in its approach. During the intake, we shall discuss the changes that you want to achieve with the redesign project. On the base of the intake Unique Change will draft a plan of approach, in which we will discuss the goals of the redesign and the methodology used..
If you approve of our plan of approach, you will receive our offer in which our terms and conditions are clarified. Up to this moment the process is without cost or obligation.
In the next stage our consultant will start with the analyses and design of your Supply Chain.
Thereafter, if our consultancy is to your satisfaction, Unique Change will kindly provide capacity for its implementation.
