We work with our clients to develop and design optimal supply chain structures and frameworks to support the business’ needs, while minimising costs and capital. Aligning the supply chain to business strategy delivers maximum value to the business, its customers and stakeholders.
Our expert team integrate with our clients team to achieve optimal outcomes for all our supply chain improvement projects. We seek to find sustainable solutions to all the issues facing our clients, with a focus on simplicity to ensure they can be implemented long term.
We support our clients to transform the service they offer their customers, by streamlining processes and offering strategic solutions to the management of contracts and procurement, in turn enhancing the overall reputation of supply chain within the business.
Our extensive experience in global contracting processes and large contract negotiations (US$500M+) enables us to provide you with expert support services when it comes to detailed negotiation, planning and execution.
Critical Input’s Supply Chain ReviewTM (SCRTM) tool enables us to provide assessment, enhancement and development of best practice End-To-End Supply Chain Planning. This synchronises the people, planning and systems needed to drive the right business outcomes.
Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing is a cornerstone of our Supply Chain activities. Coupled with extensive Supply Chain mapping, we can provide your organisation with a different view of your sourcing activities.
Materials Management Review (MMR)
The MMR is a two phased approach to help clients realise value from already purchased materials that are unknown, under utilised or obsolete:
- Phase 1 review provides an initial snapshot of your organisation’s physical management of both inventory and non-inventory items across a sample of the various storage locations.
- Optional Phase 2: Staged or full review of all storage locations and the implementation of the agreed recommendations overseen by a single Critical Input Senior Consultant.
Supply Chain Risk Assessment Matrix
Understanding the risks to your business from a Supply Chain perspective isn’t always obvious. Using our Supply Chain Risk Assessment Matrix, we can provide you with a robust set of identified risks that you can then use to manage all aspects of the Supply Chain within your business.
