Designing, controlling and continually improving the complex global flows of goods from suppliers to production lines and then to resellers, right the way through to the final client or user, is a challenge that few logistics service providers can meet.
Our approach to designing and developing Supply Chain Management solutions is based on a simple premise: to help our clients get their goods to market in the most efficient and cost-effective manner, wherever that market might be. That means we focus our attention and resources on delivering solutions that optimise inventory and overall supply chain benefits, shorten lead times, add value to clients’ products increase velocity through the chain and improve overall productivity. This gives our clients the peace of mind to concentrate on what they do best.
We recognise that close co-operation between a client and its logistics partner is needed to plan and manage the entire supply chain, to streamline operations, define accountability and improve visibility and information throughout the supply chain.
The starting point for a Safcor Panalpina Supply Chain Management solution is that our consulting team will analyse existing logistics processes, including the flow of material, stock levels and information management systems. We then assign a project management team to work closely with client management and employees to gain a detailed knowledge of supply chain needs prior to preparing our initial proposals.
Finally, once our proposals and plans have been approved, we move to the implementation phase. It is at this point that our logistics and information resources and systems are brought into play to deliver the innovative solutions that will optimise our clients supply chain.
