Is your enterprise or organisation among the 61% operating without a current, documented supply chain strategy? If so, your commercial performance is almost certainly suffering as a result.
If you do have a documented supply chain strategy, is it aligned with your overall business plan? Many businesses experience inadvertent misalignment between business and supply chain strategies—impacting profitability and service delivery.
​
Even if you developed your strategies in perfect alignment, issues can emerge unnoticed after a while.
​
Or perhaps your strategy is too rigid to support your business effectively in these recent, turbulent times for business.

Do You Have Total Confidence in Your Supply Chain Strategy?
Has it been a while since you reviewed your business’ supply chain strategy? Do you have a sense that maybe your supply chain is underperforming, and perhaps having a negative impact on your bottom line?
Perhaps you’ve sometimes wondered if your supply chain strategy is really aligned with:
-
The needs of your customers
-
The way your suppliers operate
-
Your marketing and sales plans
-
Capital expenditure
-
Your human resources strategy
-
Your investment aims, growth targets, and wider business goals
​
It’s not hard to see how the above factors and plans can change over time, and if you haven’t adjusted your supply chain strategy to support them (or taken your supply chain strategy into account as those conditions have changed), your supply chain may not be performing optimally.
The only way to know, and address supply chain performance, is to review the strategy. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do that and know that the time and effort would guarantee a return?
The Easy Way to Develop, Review, or Redevelop a Supply Chain Strategy
The interesting thing about supply chain strategy is that it has a lot of stakeholders, many of whom are not directly involved in supply chain operations. While reviewing or developing a strategy is not that hard, it can be challenging to align and coordinate all stakeholders in the effort.
Yet the effort is more than worth it. A well-managed, workshop-based project to develop your supply chain strategy, including participants from all key stakeholder groups, can result in a strategy that:
-
Supports the business’ overall strategy and objectives
-
Has appropriate focus on the outcomes you require, and can easily be tracked and adjusted to maintain performance
-
Achieves the understanding and support of all functions in the business or organisation
-
Reduces business costs and drives improvements in service
​
While it’s possible to perform and complete such a project successfully using your internal resources, organisations often find that an external consulting team can help the process to run more smoothly and be completed more quickly…
​
… And that’s exactly what we do, with a guarantee of positive results!
Assisting companies with supply chain strategy development is one of the primary areas of concentration for the senior staff at Logistics Boost. They can work with your business team to develop the right Supply Chain strategies to achieve your business goals—and ensure engagement and commitment from key stakeholders.
​
-
Our consultants will facilitate a structured series of workshops involving a senior cross-functional team selected from within your organisation.
-
Tailored specifically to your needs, but following our proven methodology, this workshop series will culminate in a fully documented supply chain strategy, with objectives, actions plans, timelines and responsibilities.
-
Better still, that strategy will be clearly focused on the end-game needs of the business, rather than the enabling means, ensuring that all parts of the organisation concentrate on achieving the objectives, rather than sub-optimising individual change projects.
​
Our supply chain strategy development programs take a pragmatic approach that enhances collaboration across business functions, enhances stakeholder participation, and encourages commitment to outcomes that benefit the entire organisation.
