Supply Chain Transformation

 |
Dowling Consulting approaches Supply Chain Transformation by leveraging the benefits of well known frameworks. We apply the fundamentals of organisational design, easy to use technology, our experience, and our intellect to provide insightful and innovative outcomes. We don’t push “out of the box” or silver bullet answers. Our Supply Chain Transformation services include:
- Process improvement: Applying our skills in Going Lean to analyse, design, implement and continuously improve business processes
- Design and implementation of S&OP, transport planning, production planning, and inventory management process and policy
- Evaluation, selection, and implementation of WMS and TMS software in multi-distribution centre environments
- Conducting multi-distribution centre network analyses that provide visibility and financial clarity
Planning
Consistent and repeatable sales and operations planning (S&OP), inventory, production, and transport planning processes are essential in delivering success in the modern supply chain. Dowling has been successful in many projects where improved planning, supported by technology, has delivered the visibility and control required to make good supply chain decisions.
Logistics
Transport network management and warehousing operations are prime candidates for improvement given the increasing demands of the retail and commercial marketplace. Whether our clients have required solutions in reverse logistics, warehouse efficiency improvements, pick and receipt automation, or network consolidation, Dowling has delivered results which have realised our clients market potential.
Lean
Lean is ultimately an end-state. One never reaches it, but progresses toward it through relentless continuous improvement. We take a pragmatic approach in helping organisations go Lean, by mixing-and-matching the most useful elements of Kaizen, Six Sigma and SCOR. Dowling’s strength lies in our ability to be a doer and a coach, not just a trainer.
Technology
Installing the latest and greatest software and hardware to manage the supply chain will not guarantee success on its own. The technology must meet the needs of the broader business and its service offering. Ensuring that these needs are met is a specialist task.
Dowling truly understands technology as an enabler. We have a vast amount of experience in formulation of the organisation’s business requirements, high value open market tenders, vendor evaluations, and subsequent selection and implementations.
Environment
An emerging concept in the field of Supply Chain Management is the quantification and reduction of the impact of the extended supply chain on the organisation’s carbon and environmental footprint.
Dowling has the tools and the expertise to bring our clients to the forefront in their industry by building a supply chain which produces a minimal carbon output per unit of productivity.
