Starting with a simple and effective process to define the right SCM solution, we move quickly to implementation, using a variety of models. However, our focus is always the bottom line: How do we move quickly to reduce operating/SCM costs and improve overall financial performance?
The SCM Practice follows a four-phase vision that optimizes solutions. The phases are:
1. Demand Definition— Efficiently define market and design product.
2. Supply Definition—Take products to market while minimizing financial commitment in line with demand uncertainty.
3. Product Execution—Continuously deliver to market at most efficient cost basis.
4. Product MET*—Efficiently improve, service and, at EOL, terminate product lifecycle.
