Global Supply Chain Planning System

The following is a description of the capabilities and benefits for the Global Supply Chain Planning System (GSCPS). The primary purpose of GSCPS is to optimize the entire supply chain process in order to generate the highest return on investment.

GSCPS CAPABILITES

The following is a listing of the more significant capabilities:

	Provide management with a tool to accurately predict the financial and production impact of changes in the Global Supply Chain Process
	Compare third party suppliers to the current operations from a profit, cost and delivery basis
	Determine projected revenues and profitability based on proposed changes in supply chain process
	Determine Gross Margin Return On Investment (GMROI) based on proposed changes in the supply chain processes
	Interface to external data bases to minimize data input
	Determine all aspects of the Global Supply Chain Network
	Identify potential supply chain bottleneck areas
	Determine projected order fulfillment times based on proposed supply chain process changes
	Determine projected number of stockouts based on proposed supply chain process changes
	Identify potential supply chain process improvements (opportunities)
	Determine the projected In-process and Finished Goods inventory requirements

GSCPS REPORTING CAPABILITIES

Throughput capability in terms of order fulfillment

Supply Chain Process Utilizations

Total process time to process an order and projected stock-outs by SKU

Projected revenues which includes total revenues and revenues by channel for each proposed scenario

Projected manufacturing and purchased costs, profits, and profit margins by SKU for each proposed scenario

Projected in-process and finished goods inventory costs and number of units at all locations in the supply chain process for each proposed scenario

Gross Margin Return On Investment (GMROI) for each proposed scenario

BENEFITS OF GSCPS

	Significantly improve profitability
	Cost effectively identify where to apply resources (capital, inventory, equipment, and labor) in order to identify the factors that have the greatest impact on current and future profitability
	Rapidly evaluate proposed changes in the Global Supply Chain Process to achieve desired targets before committing large sums of capital
	Manage risks with a high degree of confidence in the expected results

Our experience on similar projects have resulted in the following potential benefits:

	22% - 38% reduction in operating cost
	25% - 35% reduction in required floor space
	23% - 46% improvement in total product process time
	18% - 30% savings in capital investment

GSCPS can be used as often as is needed, based on the business/operating environment. This will allow the analyst to evaluate future business and operating scenarios to optimize the profitability and throughput capability of the entire supply chain process.
