The Supply Chain Edge Alignment and Assessment Process

As companies everywhere continue to grapple with the effects of the global economic downturn, the ability of the supply chain to consistently deliver products and services at a competitive cost has assumed even greater strategic importance. But keeping the supply operating at peak efficiency and effectiveness can be a major challenge, especially given the myriad priorities typically competing for limited investment funds.

Supply Chain Edge’s proprietary Alignment and Assessment Process can help manufacturers address this critical challenge. The process integrates an advanced Web-based survey tool with in-depth interviews, workshops and analysis to help manufacturers determine which supply chain investments will result in the most rapid and substantial returns.

Our team uses the tool to gather insights from employees, customers, and suppliers on a company’s performance across more than 30 supply chain competencies. These insights enable us to assess how critical each of these competencies is to that specific company and how well the company performs on each. In subsequent workshops and one-on-one interviews with key client stakeholders, we explore the results of the survey to identify key supply chain changes that can generate year-over-year operational and financial productivity gains and greater value in the multi-year strategic plan.
