Business Value Analysis Workshop

Do you hate driving through unfamiliar territory without a map? During the 3 to 5 days of our Business Value Analysis Workshop we explore your existing Supply Chain Network, discover areas of improvement and provide you with a roadmap that clearly shows how to get from your current position to an optimized state. We summarize the results in a tangible document, which contains: Executive Summary, incl. prioritized recommendations As-is Supply Chain Planning processes Best Practice alternatives Pros / Cons analysis Cost / duration and/or ROI analysis Based on your decision, we help you build a milestone-driven project plan and assemble a team of in-house and -- if required -- trusted partner resources. One of our senior consultants will be your day-to-day point of contact throughout the entire project and after its successful completion. Interested in your own map? Contact us.
		Consulting Services Every company plans their Supply Chain - somehow. Whether you employ Supply Chain Planning software or not, when was the last time you last checked if your underlying assumptions are still correct? Have you ever compared your methods against your industry's best practices? Synopsis Consulting can help you tune your Supply Chain Planning processes in a variety of areas, very often resulting in Shorter lead times Lower inventory levels Higher capacity utilization Improved forecast accuracy Increased customer service levels Less overall costs and higher profitability Some of the questions we will find answers to are the following. Forecasting Strategies Should you forecast different products differently? Which frequency and time buckets are appropriate? Do you make best use of all information available to you? Strategic Considerations Where can you expect capacity shortages in the next 2-5 years? Which areas could be outsourced, and where are the thresholds? Are you employing the right distribution and deployment strategies? Levers and Triggers Where should you hold inventory, and when should you push vs. pull? Are your safety stocks and/or inventory targets set correctly? When should you expedite or use shipping alternatives? Our consultants are not only Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) by APICS (American Production and Inventory Control Society), they also have seen more companies from the inside than most employees ever will. Our clients benefit from this experience. Make the right choice by contacting us and don't reinvent the wheel!

		Implementation Services Leverage Our Experience from the Start All our consultants have between 5 to 15 years experience in implementing various Supply Chain Planning solutions and have worked with software from leading vendors. We live a culture of internal knowledge sharing, providing you with the expertise to select the software that is right for you, from gathering the requirements, creating the RFP, to vendor selection. Draw from a pool of World-Class Consultants Once you decided which software modules you want to implement, we will assign a team of world-class consultants, consisting of Synopsis Consulting and trusted partner resources. To complement our strategic consulting practice we are proud to employ some of the domain experts in Oracle's Strategic Network Optimization (SNO) and Demantra products. Including our close partners we are able to source from a pool of 80 Supply Chain focused consultants in the U.S. and Europe. It doesn't stop with Supply Chain Planning While Synopsis Consulting focuses on Supply Chain Planning software only, our partners have specialized resources in the ERP and database area. Historically, the majority of our projects had large footprints in the Supply Chain Planning applications of former J.D. Edwards, now Oracle. If circumstances require, we will leverage our extensive network of integration and custom development partners with a combined resource pool of more than 500 consultants. Let us prove to you that if your project has a Supply Chain Planning component, Synopsis Consulting will soon become your trusted advisor for the entire project. Contact us.
