Some people believe that the supply chain only touches your external material flows and suppliers. In reality, your End-to-End Supply Chain touches essentially all aspects of your company's value streams.
Your supply chain includes the front end process associated with how you plan and conduct business -- through the shipment of products to your customers. Essentially, a well performing supply chain will help to optimize the utilization and effectiveness of your company’s resources and assets.
At the Nebraska MEP, we often see leaders of companies ask the question – “where do I start to work on and improve our supply chain?".
Based on our experience at the Nebraska MEP, we recommend starting with a Supply Chain Assessment review. This review will explore the seven key areas of your integrated supply chain and compare your company practices to what are considered supply chain best practices across a total of 60 industry standard performance criteria. Based on the outcome of this assessment and your goals and aspirations for improving your supply chain, the Nebraska MEP will work with you to identify the strategies and next steps to continue the improvement journey.
