Operational chain
Supply Chain consulting that connects decisions, processes and data.
JPL OPS approaches Supply Chain as an area composed of purchasing, warehouse, production, planning, logistics, stock and data that require a shared management approach.
Contact JPL OPSWhat problems does Supply Chain consulting address?
It addresses disconnects between planning decisions, physical flows, inventory and the information available to manage them.
When each area works with different criteria or data, deviations can travel from one link to the next. The first step is to observe the whole while retaining the operational detail of each process.
- Purchasing and material availability
- Warehouse, production and logistics
- Planning, stock and operational data
How is a shared management approach created?
Processes, rules and indicators are defined in line with business objectives and with clear responsibilities in every area.
The operating model joins the current and desired situations, planning and stock, service and cost indicators, and the sources needed to monitor them consistently.
- AS-IS and TO-BE processes
- Planning and stock rules
- Shared productivity, cost, service and inventory KPIs
How can supply chain data become decisions?
The source of every data point must be established and deviations presented at the level where they can trigger a specific action.
ERP, WMS, TMS and Data Warehouse can each contribute part of the view. The related case studies document both improvements in specific logistics areas and the end-to-end definition of the operating model for a retail value chain.
- Data quality and traceability
- Indicator automation
- Deviation monitoring and continuous improvement
