Successful organizations
view their transportation and logistics
challenges from the supply chain perspective.
A supply chain, or network, is the flow
of materials, information and money amongst
a related group of suppliers, manufacturers
and customers. Supply chain optimization
requires firms to manage beyond their organizational
boundaries.
Involving suppliers and
customers in the design and management of
transportation and logistics solutions is
the hallmark of successful supply chain
managers.
Our team of qualified and
dedicated professionals can provide transportation
and logistics consulting solutions for every
level of the supply chain model.
QGI can help you to understand
the structure of your current supply chain
and the role that you play in your customers’
supply chains providing strategic advice
on how to best align your operations with
your overall business objectives.
We will analyze each component
of your supply chain to determine its performance,
strategic fit, service and cost efficiency
and recommend alternative strategies to
maximize customer service, reliability,
and operational efficiency.
The very real possibility
of terrorist activities is resulting in
realignments of global supply chains. Risk
management activities must now include a
risk assessment of each supply chain component
along with increased awareness of the impact
of changes in border security measures.
Working with your supply
chain partners, we will create a transparent
measurement system that allows all participants
in your supply chain to evaluate and monitor
the performance of critical interfaces,
constraints, system costs and customer service
levels. We will help you analyze business
processes and establish performance criteria
jointly with your logistics partners and
then manage to the demands of all partners
to meet your customers’ requirements.
Supply chain commitment
Create a climate of cooperation
and trust with your supply chain partners.
We can help you and your partners jointly
develop a value proposition based on collaborative
supply chain management principles to ensure
the achievement of maximum and balanced
benefits for all partners.
Customer needs
analysis
Align your logistics management
processes and key performance indicators
with the criteria that drive your customers’
purchase decisions. We can help you better
understand your customers’ requirements
and motivations through the use of qualitative
and quantitative customer satisfaction and
customer experience surveys.
Understand partner
constraints and capabilities
Succeed through mutual
understanding and respect for your supply
chain partners’ constraints and capabilities.
Our professional advisors will help you
agree on and jointly develop service reliability
and system efficiency measures to accurately
and fairly measure supply chain performance.
Collaborative business
process integration
Working with your supply
chain partners, QGI will help you find ways
to eliminate or minimize barriers and inefficiency
across your supply chain. We will facilitate
meetings and information sharing with supply
chain partners to foster common understanding
and commitment resulting in the development
of measurements and processes forming the
basis of the supply chain scorecard.
Monitoring performance
The supply chain scorecard
can incorporate customers, transportation
and logistics providers and suppliers performance
levels to provide an on-going evaluation
of supply chain effectiveness.
QGI can facilitate on-going
evaluation of your supply chain performance
or can equip you with the tools to manage
this process yourself.
