Supply Chain Consultancy

We view the supply chain as a key element of delivering consumer value. At the heart of supply chain consultancy is the continuing desire for improvement. Kraft’s supply chain is driven by this guiding principle and we know that many of our Customers’ supply chain professionals share this drive.

Kraft offers to our customers a team of dedicated supply chain professionals with broad experience in distribution operations, transportation, manufacturing, logistics, procurement and information technology. Examples of areas that we may want to explore together include:

• True economic order increments (EOI) and order quantities (EOQ) that consider all multiple trade-offs, including warehouse labor, carrying costs, etc.
• Dock operations
• Warehouse layout and rack openings
• Processes that require streamlining and optimization, such as order cycles and receiving

We believe the most effective approach is one that begins with joint discovery and ends with joint development and implementation of solutions. Kraft’s supply chain professionals team up with Customers to assess the supply chain to identify components that add waste or value. Together, we can determine supply chain opportunities and programs that best fit our mutual needs.

An effective supply chain consultancy begins with an agreement on those areas that Kraft and our Customer commit to jointly exploring. The discipline of process management is employed through a project manager with goals, deliverables and timelines jointly agreed to.

We would be happy to discuss your interest in supply chain consultancy. Please contact your Kraft Customer Supply Chain Manager.
