Effective Leadership Has Never Been More In Demand

High interest rates, increased taxes, and additional labour laws have all added to the challenges of running public and private enterprises.  To succeed, organisations require individuals with the expertise, experience, and, particularly, leadership skills to develop and implement plans that address an increasingly challenging commercial environment. 

Within the supply chain, key focus areas to be included within any plan include: 

Improving work rates through improved motivation and reducing duplication of tasks

• Upgrading IT systems

• The introduction of mechanisation and automation where appropriate

• Reviewing the use of subcontractors and using tendering to ensure competitive rates

• Ensuring optimum warehouse layouts and processes

• Supporting the business by determining the cost to serve a net margins of product groups or activities

• Ensuring the supply chain is configured for optimum performance

Whilst external consultancy support can support some of these activities, the overall coordination and prioritisation must be undertaken in-house by a senior management team leader.
