Supply Chain Optimisation

Every business is a complex combination of Supply Chains. These chains are composed either of physical material, or physical or soft information, all moving as the product moves from the raw material stage to the receipt by the customer. All either contributing cost or value. Optimisation is achieved by simply moving the product from the raw material stage to sale to the customer and the attainment of profit as quickly as possible. The inefficiencies in 97% of operations are based on excess inventory not moving towards the customer, attracting cost and adding zero value.

OHB Consulting will ensure that your Supply Chain supports the maximisation of your share holder value through reviewing the constituent elements that are directly effecting your ability to:

• Drive revenue growth
• Reduce operating costs
• Maximise return from fixed capital
• Fully utilise working capital

• Identifying your organisations understanding of opportunity identification

An analysis phase that brings core and non-core definition to each element of the business, ending with a statement of where we are.

• Identifying the drivers
• The contributors
• The key operations positively driving the process
• Those that are non added value
• Those that are purely cost

A core programme definition phase

• Defining the key
