These are all factors, which change constantly and sometimes unexpectedly, and an organization must realize this fact and be prepared to structure the supply chain accordingly. <br><br> Structuring the supply chain requires an understanding of the demand patterns, service level requirements, distance considerations, cost elements and other related factors. It is easy to see that these factors are highly variable in nature and this variability needs to be considered during the supply chain analysis process. Moreover, the interplay of these complex considerations could have a significant bearing on the outcome of the supply chain network. <b>Contact us <a href="contact.htm">(click here) </a>for more information on how we can improve your operations.</b> <br><br>We offer the following consulting services and applications as part of our supply chain management consulting portfolio: </font></p> <ul> <font color="#000000" face="arial" size="2"> <li>Value stream Mapping</li> <li>Cycle-time Reductions</li> <li>Supply Chain Inventory Reductions</li> <li>Annual Purchase Spend Reductions</li> <li>Order-to-Ship Lead Time Reduction</li> <li>Operating Cost Reductions</li> <li>Substantial Increases in Supply Chain Throughput</li> <li>Development of Supply Chain Strategy</li> <li>Supply Chain Evaluation</li> <li>Supply Chain Modeling/Simulation</li> <li>Inventory Analysis/Planning</li> <li>Collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment(CPFR) </li> <li>Capacity Planning/Simulation</li> <li>Supply Logistics Analysis/Simulation</li> <li>Identification/Development of Core Products/Processes</li> <li>Product Line/Component Sourcing</li> <li>Outsource/Reengineer Assessments</li> <li>Supplier Partnership Negotiations</li> <li>Global Sourcing</li> <li>Kan-Ban Supply Logistics Development/Implementation</li> <li>Make/Buy Analysis/Planning</li> <li>Factory Design/Simulations</li> <li>Logistics Analysis/Simulation</li> <li>Distribution Channel Design/Simulation</li> <li>Process Design/Simulation</li> <li>Information Systems Evaluation and Design</li> <li>Material Handling Design/Simulation</li> <li>Organization Design</li> <li>Cellular Manufacturing</li> <li>Business Process Reengineering</li> <li>Strategic Procurement</li> <li>Materials Management</li> <li>Project Management</li> </ul> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://rockfordconsulting.com/supply-chain-management-consulting-services.htm"><B>|</B>Supply Chain Management (SCM) Consulting Services<B>|</B></A> </font> <P><FONT color=gray face=arial size=3><B>Consulting Information</B></FONT> <P align=justify><font size="2">Rockford Consulting Group is located in Rockford, IL., a city with a substantial manufacturing and machine tool history.
