Supply Chain Redesign. With wage rates rising in China, growth in emerging economies, and deep recessions in the developed economies, companies are rethinking the supply chain, and specifically relocating manufacturing plants to be closer to end customers. We help companies evaluate and redesign their entire supply chain, from raw material acquisition to manufacturing to distribution, logistics, and customer service.
Procure-to-Pay. We help clients structure their end-to-end purchasing, receiving, and accounts payable processes in order to eliminate wasteful, non-value added tasks. We structure our recommendations around a client's specific risk profile while recognizing their systems limitations and technology capabilities.
