At Spinnaker Support, we believe the winners of economic competition are not the companies with the best products, but the companies with the best supply chains! Even small gains in business practice, process, organization and/or technology can deliver powerful bottom-line results. The challenge faced by most is not identifying the problems, but rather, identifying easily implemented, high-return solutions.

Spinnaker Support’s JD Edwards supply chain experts can help you optimize your systems by executing a Supply Chain Management Assessment. Our experts are experienced business professionals who have managed supply chain operations for industry-leading companies. They document issues, identify the performance causal(s) and develop recommendations to resolve each.

Spinnaker Support’s Assessment Services document recommendations for improving performance through adjustments at the practice, process, organization or technology level.

The assessment scope typically includes a limited on-site engagement, stakeholder interviews, and operational review of:

• Warehouse
• Transportation
• Order fulfillment
• Inventory management practices
• Inventory replenishment policies
• Review of Information Systems applications in use

The engagement deliverable documents findings and actionable recommendations. The cost of the assessment as well as the cost to selectively implement the resulting recommendations will be returned through improved distribution system operations. The average return on investment is less than 12 months.
