Supply Chain Planning Process Improvement Our consultants bring significant industry, Big Five, and supply chain planning software experience. We offer process improvement services designed to fit each client’s unique needs. MEBC personnel are experts in process redesign and our methodologies are designed to be flexible and integrate into the unique cultural requirements of each client. MEBC utilizes a structured methodology for conducting Process Improvement that ranges from developing the vision and goals, to identifying and measuring the processes that need to be changed. We work closely with our clients to ensure that the enhanced business processes are aligned with the strategic vision and that ROI goals are achieved. We use a Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model-based approach that leverages our knowledge of industry-specific best practices in the areas of: Demand Planning, Collaborative Planning, Constraint Based Inventory & Distribution Requirements Planning, Rough Cut Capacity Planning, Scheduling, and Transportation. Our Process Improvement activities cover processes, sub-processes, activities, user scripts, and scenarios.  Sample Qualifications Our client, a large provider of logistics services to the US government, initiated a Distribution Planning Management System (DPMS) process designed to improve inbound and outbound freight management, as well as reverse logistics. Using a SCOR based methodology developed by the Supply Chain Council for process redesign, MEBC helped this client: The results of process improvement included enhanced service to the military and a process that enables the client to negotiate more advantageous freight delivery terms, providing significant cost reductions. A regulated utility company, our client needed to modernize their business processes, while replacing their legacy materials forecasting and planning tool with Manugistics v7.2. Tying corporate goals to business processes, and ultimately to configuration settings, provided the foundation for inventory and forecasting best practices. Our client is a privately owned business with annual revenue of approximately $2.5B and distribution operations in ten states. During an expansionary phase, this client contracted MEBC to implement a Manugistics-enabled supply chain solution. In addition to the software integration, MEBC redesigned the client’s business processes to allow for improved customer service, and managed inventory levels. We helped our client achieve a cultural change by using a balanced scorecard methodology and engaging with all the stakeholders in the supply chain process. |
