Supply Chain

 

Most companies agree that Supply Chain is about driving performance through improved material, financial and information flow – and that’s certainly true.

But at Celerant, we believe that more than 60% of Supply Chain is about people. People who are making decisions every day, seeking to provide customers with products and services in a more reliable and cost effective way than the competition.

Our Supply Chain service line focuses on people, enabling them to make timely decisions on what materials to buy, which suppliers to buy from, where to produce or store goods, where to prioritize demand, and much more. The result is a confident, informed and empowered group of people who are capable of making the right decisions based on the right information.

Modern Supply Chains have grown in complexity, but one thing remains the same: they are about the relationships between people who have chosen to work with one another, whether as buyers or sellers, third-party service providers or internal customers. Only by understanding and mirroring customer behaviors can companies ensure that they are providing the right service at the right cost - and that applies to all relationships across their value chain.

 

The Integrated Supply Chain service line offers:

 

  • Supply Chain Strategy & Blueprint - Analyse and design the structure and foundational elements of a Supply Chain to deliver against corporate strategy.
  • Integrated Planning – Provide companies with a set of decision-making forums, robust processes and reliable information to link high level strategic plans with day-to-day operational actions.
  • Optimal Balance of Supply Chain Objectives – Achieve optimal performance by managing objectives across the entire value chain, rather than through a series of local optimizations.
  • Purchasing & Supply Management – Integrate the sourcing function early in product development to optimize the chances of faster and higher value creation.
  • Cross Functional Value Chain Alignment – Clearly define roles and responsibilities, measure and reward what matters to the business as a whole and expand cross-functional efforts beyond what is on the business card.
