Supply Chain optimization

 

The optimization of its parts does not necessarily translate into an optimized Supply Chain. For those companies looking for more dramatic performance improvements, we propose to approach their Supply Chains from our "Global and Multi-Disciplinary" (G&MD) framework.

MKC's G&MD approach

What is G&MD? Global perspective means that the analysis of a Supply Chain should consider the flow of activities starting at the Source of raw materials, going through the Make of products/services, to the Deliver to the final client (see SCOR model). Multi-disciplinary perspective means that many complex Supply Chain problems require the analysis of different business areas which can be related through cause-effect links. For instance, problems at the inventory level may be linked to forecasting issues (commercial department), production issues (production facilities), procurement issues (sourcing department) or simply to warehouse issues (logistic department). In cases like this, only with the participation of a multi-disciplinary team the root of the problem can be identified and a solution can be develop.

G&MD approach translates into bespoke services, that is, projects designed to address specific situations and which require the simultaneous analysis through four dimensions: strategy, process, organization and technology. G&MD put customer service at the center, putting the Supply Chain to the service of the client.
