Supply Chain Assessment, Design and Execution
Your Supply Chain needs to adapt to new, ever-changing competition and market realities. Our end-to-end improvement process will
Review, evaluate and report on your entire current value chain
Identify your supply chain performance gaps with steps to improvement
Develop inventory deployment strategies for operational and organization success
Review value chain processes and information flows (tools, information systems and communication layers)
Today's competition is fierce. To perform at peak operations efficiency, supply chains have to adapt to new digital realities, increased customer demands and new or improved technologies.
Unfortunately, very few organizations have an ongoing, systematic program to achieve the levels of improvement required. Most organizations are still struggling to understand the new realities, and the impact on business today. Current incremental improvement plans are not achieving desired results, as seen in the number of organizational failures and closures.
Our supply chain improvement approach is based on these new market and customer realities. And consists of an appraisal, review and evaluation of the entire value chain. We identify the supply chain performance gaps, and work with you on the specific strategic and tactical steps, as well as inventory deployment strategies you need to action now, for operational and organizational success. Don't get caught off-side...

80% of an organization's operational cost is tied to the operations layout and logistics network choice. With so much at stake, you have to get it right to stay competitive in today's difficult operating environment.
Logistics networks and operations have to be optimized to secure cost-minimums, and more importantly provide the right products to the right customers, in the right places at the right times, for maximum customer satisfaction and repeat business. To do this effectively, your organization must know the correct balance between warehousing operational costs and logistics costs. At the Eighty-Four Group, we give you the confidence to answer the following critical questions.
How many distribution centres or eCommerce fulfillment centres should we have, and where?
What should be the purpose for each facility in our network?
What is the right sourcing model, capacity, customer flow model and road, rail, air or sea logistics network mix needed to support each facility?
What are the demographic changes in our supply area and customer markets that need to impact our network design and execution?
What are the local, regional, national and international government arrangements we can capitalize on as we optimize our logistics network and operations?
What are the competitor changes and emerging product ecosystems that seemingly go un-noticed, but require us to adapt for sustained competitive positioning?
As a full-service consulting and implementation firm, the Eighty-Four Group will be with you every step of the way, as we optimize or plan, design, and build the most demand-flexible, cost-effective network for your organization. We will also provide organizational design and change management as needed. Be satisfied that you are taking the right steps around your logistics network and operations.
