| Many organizations
that were manufacturers in the past have transformed into distribution
companies through the shift to off-shore production. Their role, which
was focussed on production capacity and productivity, is now heavily
oriented to management of procurement, logistics and planning.
SCS has substantial experience working with
distributors. Our work has included:
- Diagnosing, engineering and implementing
customer order management process improvements
- Strengthening processes for supplier order
management and compliance for offshore sourcing
- Improving inventory visibility, control
and planning across multiple locations
- Optimizing warehouse layout and throughput
- Analyzing the impact of changing network
configurations
- Assessing the adequacy of distribution centres
and recommending sites, design and business terms with 3rd party
owners
- Consolidating customer service, product
supply and logistics operations during the merger integration
process
- Identifying gaps in planning systems
