Simple Supply Chain Strategies to Curb Costs

In today’s economy, more and more companies are finding creative and effective solutions to mitigate supply chain costs without having to sacrifice operational efficiencies. Our clients and prospects often ask us, “What are some simple supply chain strategies we can deploy to help curb costs?” There is no cookie-cutter approach we can retrofit to all clients as each client has its own unique operation requiring a strategy that is customized to their specific needs. One client may have an advanced warehouse operation, but they may not have the right software applications to support it. The next client may have implemented a best-of-breed WMS solution, but they lack an effective workforce and transportation network to support the growing business. Another client has exceptional service levels, but lacks an effective inventory management system to control carrying costs.
