If you’re involved in manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing, etailing, you’re aware of the impact your supply chain has on the operational and fiscal well-being of your organization. It’s a/the key component of your business plan. Thankfully, the more cost you can drive out of your supply chain, the better your entire organization will operate.
It complicated, though. The variables are vast, transportation policies and regulations are in constant flux, and costs are consistently rising. Some things in life are do-it-yourselfers; remedying this situation is better suited to professional help (head-shrinking optional).
Data2Logistics has a Professional Services Group whose sole function is devising plans customized per company to reduce supply chain costs. That’s their bag – assessing areas of opportunity including RFP management, transportation network assessment, freight rate negotiation support, cost analysis scenario rating, transport/logistics market studies, transport management systems (TMS) analysis, inbound routing planning guide development, and carrier selection with freight contract optimization structuring. That’s a lot of ‘professional service;’ probably more than you’ll get from that shrink. And the easing of logistical flow and cost savings are real.
Look into it. If additional psychological assistance is also on your mind, contact me, and I’ll refer you to my therapist, Gold’s Gym.
