Leading Supply Chain Consulting firm

Strategy and Systems is a supply chain consulting firm highly experienced in designing and implementing its supply chain solutions to a wide varied of client companies. Supply chain companies that manufacture, stock and distribute physical products often suffer from the problems of too much and too little inventory of their products at stocking points, these problems typically co-exist. While too much inventory blocks working capital and increases the risk of obsolescence, too little inventory runs the risk of lost sales opportunities. Conventional stock planning methods use forecasting to predict demand and position stock, when demand exceeds or is found lesser than the forecast, it results in shortages or non-moving surplus stocks. Therefore having a balanced yet effective inventory has always been challenging. Theory of Constraints based Supply chain solutions aligns the whole chain to respond to actual market requirements while ensuring an effective inventory mix at the stocking and consumption points. TOC's simple but robust priority mechanism triggers the right behaviours and culture in the supply chain resulting in superior business results.

7Cs Group

We spent almost 3 years to strengthen all our basics of retailing. We used to compare the industry parameters with our results. Most of the times we do better based on position of the brand. However, the sales numbers and the overall business results are not encouraging for the investors. This is the time we thought we should do something different to propel the sales and hence the business results.
