Consulting: Demand Management Diagnostics
The Diagnostic examines the "as-is" process and compares it
to the benchmarks and your industry accepted best practices to highlight
areas of opportunity. We conduct a rapid diagnostic audit by studying
key Performance Measures, build them where necessary, and by interviewing
key employees and stakeholders. The deliverable is an ROI analysis for
the re-engineering proposition and highlight areas of the supply chain
that offer best returns for the effort.
