SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION
In this uncertain economy, it is more important than ever for a company
to make sure that it is getting the absolute most out of its investment
in their ERP systems. By realizing the full value of process
efficiencies made possible by implementing an ERP system such as SAP,
companies can gain a competitive advantage over their
competitors. Dickinson + Associates can help you optimize your SAP
system to enable an agile, lean and efficient customer-oriented supply
chain.
Dickinson + Associates Supply Chain Optimization Services (SCO) helps
companies realize the most out of their SAP investments by assessing the
health of their supply chain, acting on the results to fix the issues,
and setting the path forward towards continuous process improvement
through benchmarking.

OUR METHODOLOGY
Our SCO methodology also gives your company an á la carte approach for
optimizing the supply chain so that you can focus on the most important
issues first. Dickinson + Associates understands that we are in a
capital-constrained environment and offers this approach to give your
company the flexibility to repair your supply chain at your own pace.
SCMd Diagnosis
Just like a doctor’s physical, Dickinson + Associates will evaluate your
current processes against best practice to identify the health of your
supply chain. Dickinson + Associates has compiled a database of common
supply chain issues based on our consultants’ extensive experience
working with industry-leading companies. This key information has
allowed us to develop tools for diagnosing key symptoms that highlight
significant breakdowns in the supply chain. Through an on-site
evaluation, our team can provide you with a complete report on the
health of your supply chain by simply accessing your SAP system and
running standard reports.
Our SCMd Diagnosis methodology enables a complete assessment over the
supply chain by focusing on common points of breakdown in the following
areas: Planning, Procurement, Production, Distribution, Warehousing,
Inventory and Customer Service. By focusing on key metrics within each
area compiled through our database, we can flush out common issues to
the health of the supply chain and determine exactly how well your
organization is executing. Without a complete assessment across all of
these processes in the supply chain, you cannot accurately determine the
specific cause of supply chain breakdowns.
Within 3 to 5 business days following the on-site review, you will be
provided with the SCMd Diagnosis Report, a full analysis outlining the
effectiveness of your company’s supply chain and potential opportunities
to improve health.
SCM Improvement Deployment
Understanding the issues inhibiting a lean and efficient supply chain is
only the beginning. The SCMd Diagnosis provides a framework through
which Dickinson + Associates consultants can act to repair the problems
uncovered. Dickinson + Associates proprietary methodology for SCO uses the SCMd Diagnosis as an input to lay out
a quick and easy project plan for tackling each issue individually. We
focus on the most value-added efforts to drastically improve your supply
chain efficiency and total cost of ownership for your SAP system.

Dickinson + Associates will work with the client’s team to implement the
improvements rapidly. Leveraging the real world experiences of our
consultants, Dickinson + Associates will fully develop, test, and
deliver the identified improvements with the intent to minimize impact
