Supply Chain Assessments & Design

Spinnaker’s Supply Chain Assessment methodology is a focused toolkit that helps us quickly evaluate and benchmark current supply chain performance and adapt best practices to develop the right supply chain model for the client’s business. Our proven methodology delivers client results through a unique combination of value and speed by focusing on three main objectives:

1. Understand current supply chain operations and capabilities
2. Identifying the gaps between current supply chain performance and capabilities and best-in-class supply chain performance
3. Developing an improvement roadmap to close the gaps

We believe a comprehensive understanding of supply chain operations is critical in order to provide the greatest value possible. To achieve this, we look at the client’s business through a series of “lenses” to focus on the key drivers of supply chain performance including:

• Process
• Metrics
• Technology
• Organization
• Business Policy

While we leverage a set of common tools and approaches, the scope of our assessments is typically customized and focused to the needs of individual clients. The potential scope can include any range of supply chain processes such as: Planning, New Product Introduction, Procurement & Sourcing, Manufacturing, Logistics & Warehousing, Order Management & Fulfillment, Reverse Logistics and Returns Management.
