Supply Chain Management

Is your organization experiencing the bullwhip effect (an oscillation in the chain caused by demand variability) or better yet, frequent inventory stock outs because your downstream customers are mismanaging inventory and not stocking it quickly enough to feed demand? Welcome to the world of supply chain mismanagement! Effective management of an organization’s supply chain can have massive benefits to the company’s bottom line. An unmanaged network can result in inefficiencies throughout the chain, which can have a severe impact to the end result – customer delivery. At GTSM, our consultants measure the performance of a supply chain by examining the profits, average fill rate, response time and capacity utilization. We have the expertise to manage your supply chain through the implementation of the following decision variables:

• Location – of facilities and sourcing points.

• Production – what to produce in what facility.

• Inventory – how much to order, when to order and safety stocks.

• Transportation – mode of transport, shipment size, routing and scheduling.

Our consultants will provide the following results to your orga-nization’s supply chain:

• Eliminate the bullwhip effect.
• Implement vendor managed inventory.
• Implement accurate response systems.
• Explore make-to-order production systems.
