The New Supply Chain Paradigm

All businessess, whatever their role in the supply chain, will need to relate to consumers or customers, managing relationships as a key competitive asset. They will need to exploit technology as it advances, and rework their processes to fit the new business model. Agility, flexibility and speed will be the new differentiators, and organizations will need to be more efficient, effective and economical (the three 'E's') to make their business worth doing.

Hard on the heels of the business-to-consumer supply chain redefinitions, are the business-to-business area redefinitions. The conversion of many routine transactions, from purchasing, designing and planning to e-purchasing, e-designing and e-planning, have stimulated profound organizational changes and needs.

Recognizing these needs, MBDM combined its deep Decision Modeling and Industrial Engineering Capabilities with its Supply Chain Re-engineering Capabilities. These combined disciplines deliver enormous returns to the bottom line with as much as 30% reductions in End-to-End Operations and Supply Chain Management / Execution costs.

Our 7S-SCE MODEL

Our 7S-SCE model is applicable in both the Service, Manufacturing and Government sectors.

Service industries and primarily government organizations, seek out ‘minimum cost of doing business’ models in much the same way as production organizations.

They too wish to operate with a lower cost base while delivering higher levels of quality and service to both their internal and external customers.

Service industries and primarily government organizations, seek out ‘minimum cost of doing business’ models in much the same way as production organizations.

Our 7S-SCE approach is founded on The Supply Chain Council SCOR (The Supply Chain Operations Reference) model which provides additional structure and rigor to manage your Supply Chain Cycle towards best in class levels.

Our 7-Step Supply Chain Excellence Approach

Supply Chain Excellence (SCE) is achieved by us through our critical 7-Step Supply Chain Excellence (7S-SCE) Process:

1. Blueprinting the supply chain – Planning / Manufacturing / Logistics / Metrics / Management
2. Identifying WOTS-UP within the Supply Chain
3. Understanding its expansion / contraction capability – Production Flexibility / Propensity  
4. Understanding MTS / MTO / RTS / RTO / Product Wheel Lengths / Delivery to Promise
5. Understanding Demand Cycles / Inventory Cycles / Safety Stock / Supply Cycles
6. Analyzing / Optimizing Supply Chain Capability End to End – Minimizing the Working Capital Cycle / Minimizing the total cost of doing business
7. Improvements, Value Creation and Control  - Maximize Delivery to Promise / and Delivery to Expectation.

In short, we don't seek to implement brand new technologies when you have not yet extracted full value from existing technologies - adding unneccessary costs to your already over-burdened business model. Critical studies have shown that the difference between the amount of value extracted from a brand new (largely under-utilized) technology and an older (close to fully-utilized) technology is minimal. We do not sell you hype - we sell Value Creation you can measure.

This way, you save tens (or hundreds) of thousands in consulting and technology costs, extend the life of your existing technologies and business paradigms, avoid disruptive changes from new technologies which can reportedly rob you of as much as 30% in productivity in the first 18 to 24 months of implementation.
