Supply Chain Management is the collection of all of the processes involved in the movement and storage of materials. It typically includes:
Sourcing Material Planning Purchasing Contract Negotiations (suppliers & clients) Customer Order Management Customer Services Quality Manufacturing Logistics Transport Warehousing Distribution Invoicing Returns Management Repair & Warranty Services
"the right products, in the right place, at the right quantity, at the right time, at a minimum of cost"
Easier said than done?
Albvia has over 25 years of experience in SCM with many of the world's top companies, in particular the IT and
consumer electronics industries. These industries provide a platform for leading edge SCM development, operating
in two of the most demanding and highly competitive industries.
Costs are constantly being driven out, lead-times collapse and new processes and techniques develop at a staggering pace. Competition remains fierce.
Many of the new SCM techniques and applications, developed in this environment, are ideally suited for use in other industries.
The key is to know when to apply which technique and then how to implement it. Whether re-designing an entire Supply Chain model
or re-engineering parts of it, Albvia acts as a guide and leads the implementation.
No matter what the immediate focus (cost reduction, supporting revenue growth, collapsing lead-time etc.), a customised, modular solution is implemented.
The Albvia approach guarantees a robus foundation upon which future improvements can be built, without losing any of the advantages already invested in.
