Global Supply Chain Optimization

Balancing premium customer service with the optimum possible efficiency of  complex, global supply chain operations across your entire trading network

 

Description

What is the most effective way to plan for, produce, and distribute your products to your customers?  Should you use contract manufacturers?  Is outsourcing the right move?  If so, how do you manage those partners?  If you’ve already cut costs to the bone, what’s next? 

Operational efficiency is a ticket to entry in today’s competitive marketplace.  It’s a given.  But it never seems to be enough.  Even if your company’s supply chain is highly efficient, you’re not alone.  Your competition will not stop innovating more efficiency into their supply chains, and you can’t afford to either.  To stand out from the crowd, to attract the best customers, you need to move beyond this stage.  The next challenge will be to tackle the complex, sometimes murky world of inter-company processes.  It’s imperative that your company strive for supply chain excellence.

Supply chain superiority boils down to efficient flow of product, information, and funds within your network.  This means creating collaborative processes among many different companies, not just internal sites or business units.  From electronic procurement, to constraint-based master planning, to RFID product tracking,  to multi-modal transportation management…we can help you succeed in these endeavors. 

 

Problems Solved  

We understand the dilemmas you face.  Suppliers are clamoring for better demand signals.  Customers continually require higher service levels, at a lower cost, with higher quality.  Manufacturing partners struggle with the logistics of managing far-flung sites using disparate processes and systems.  Internally, business units are not always cooperating to drive optimization.  Finally, you are held accountable for solving all these problems—some of which are out of your control.  

Cojent Solutions has developed powerful, proven tools to help you accomplish these daunting tasks.  We help you create lasting supply chain excellence by:

  • increasing profitability by lowering costs of inter-company supply chain operations;

  • optimizing customer service through seamless execution across multiple locations, systems, and languages;

  • managing the complexities of supplier and customer collaboration while you focus on core competencies;

  • accelerating your visibility of and responsiveness to demand signals; and

  • enabling transaction-specific flexibility in your fulfillment of customer orders.
