The supply chain of your company is the key to increasing your profits; if you have a smooth system in place then you will boost your margins, whilst if there is an inefficient stream of commerce it will drain your income.
Supply chain management is the controlling of your goods, right from the raw material to the end product. It certainly can be a very complex process which has only been made more difficult as manufacturers and distributors are becoming more and more globalised.
To give you a prime example of just how much an inefficient supply chain can cost it is estimated that in the USA the food industry wastes around $30 billion each year. This is due to bad communication and coordination between all of the partners working in the supply chain.
The most effective way to find our the reasons why you are facing supply chain issues is to hire a supply chain consultant. Here are 3 reasons why hiring a consultant will help you to maximise your profits and increase the effectiveness of your supply chain.
