Service Offering - The one week Site Assessment for Supply Chain Management

Every site operation has a number of core supply chain management processes that should be deployed. Even if processes are deployed, they may not be yielding value.

Deliverables :

• Review of the effectiveness of the customer service and demand management agenda at the site.
