Supply Chain Planning Systems

All supply chain systems are not created equally. In terms of efficiency, performance and cost-effectiveness, there can be huge differences from one to the next. Every link within the supply chain has its own unique impact on the business as a whole. The basic design of any given supply chain will determine its competitiveness, sustainability and overall value for the organisation. Supply chain systems must take into account design, sourcing, production, warehousing, distribution and transportation – every key process from beginning to end. Unless each element is equally capable, reliable and efficient, effective supply chain management simply isn’t possible.
