Shift your
company into overdrive
World-class companies with optimal supply chain
management
outperform their competitors 2 to 1.
When companies evaluate growth opportunities, their
supply chain is rarely considered a vehicle for
immediate growth. Top performing companies have long
understood the value of lean, effective supply
chains with strong material management. Emerging markets and our growing global
marketplace have increased the complexity and risks
associated with supply chains. Customer demand for
faster product life cycles, and the trend toward
consolidation are just a few of the new challenges
facing companies today. Companies that do not respond or
consider the importance of supply chain management could
result in heavy unnecessary costs, loss of market share,
and profits.
We have seen many companies, whether Fortune 500 or
smaller in size, try an incremental approach, with small
internal improvements over the course of several years. This generally results in ineffective adoption of the
changes and ultimately failure due to the rapidly
changing demand environment and the threat of change
fatigue. A sweeping strategic change, executed in clear
objective waves, with a focus on effective and lean
supply chains has yielded the highest results in our
experience. This approach has been successfully used by
many of our clients to rapidly reduce inventory, improve
fill rates, accelerate product line changes, reduce
order to cash cycles, and increase customer satisfaction
metrics.
Our
supply chain optimization experience allows WGA to offer
singular and unique objective recommendations and
execution services that will deliver immediate and
enduring cost savings to our clients.
Regardless of the SCM systems you are using,
SAP,
Oracle,
PeopleSoft,
JD Edwards,
WGA's approach is
to initially execute a "deep-dive" analysis to assess
systems and organizational relationships, materials
management and identify
product DDR's (defects, delays and returns) to
understand the core opportunities available for
optimization. Opportunities identified, WGA
collaboratively works with our clients' implementation
team to prioritize the opportunities, design
improvements, assess organizational adoption of the
changes, plan the implementation waves, and deliver the
optimization to their organization.
