OUR APPROACH
Motion Supply Chain supports value-driven supply chain decisions which consider the tradeoff between cost and service. Rather than formulate a single solution, Motion Supply Chain uses fact-based decision making to present multiple cost-optimal solutions for a range of service alternatives. Our approach includes four phases: Assess, Plan, Implement and Measure.
To provide insight into your firm’s savings potential, Motion Supply Chain will ASSESS your current organization, systems, and processes for opportunities to improve supply chain performance and reduce costs. This phase may include a best practice review as well as an opportunity assessment that compares your practices to that of best-in-class supply chains. Additionally, we may utilize our powerful analytical capabilities to identify and prioritize opportunities, which if addressed, will significantly improve your supply chain performance.
To help you maximize the benefit of your systems, processes, and organization, Motion Supply Chain provides IMPLEMENT services ranging from advisory services to program management and value assurance. We will help you prioritize an implementation roadmap to identify current business requirements, evaluate the impacts of implementation, and create a future plan as business assumptions change. To receive maximum benefit from your implementation, Motion Supply Chain’ dedicated, skilled resources can help you establish on-demand planning and analytics capability to enhance day-to-day operations.
Even the best plans create little value if they are not effectively measured and continuously adapted to changing circumstances. In the MEASURE phase, Motion Supply Chain helps you monitor, manage, and reduce the impact of business variability in your supply chain operations. We work with you to create strategic measurements and key operational metrics to uncover sub-optimal or underperforming supply chain activities. By comparing actual results to plans, you will be able to quickly measure the impact of proposed approaches and improve your overall supply chain performance
Scenario analysis is at the heart of fact-based decision making. In the PLAN phase, Motion Supply Chain applies optimization and simulation tools to predict the cost and service impacts of a range of alternative scenarios. Our approach searches for the best possible outcomes, considering time, operating and working capital costs, network complexity, and overall risk. Using fact-based analysis, we help you uncover business strategies and practices to improve your supply chain performance.
