Process Design, Efficiency Improvement & Operational Planning
In the complex environment of supply chain operations, inefficient processes can quickly drain resources, erode profitability, and hinder growth potential. Effective process design – one that integrates cost efficiency, optimizes throughput, and focuses on exceptional service – is vital to establishing resilient and scalable operations.
Relevance of Capability
Whether your organization is launching new operations, revamping existing ones, facing persistent bottlenecks, productivity gaps, or preparing to introduce automation and digitization, the stakes of getting process design “right” are considerable. The proper alignment of people, equipment, and workflows is key to your operational agility and long-term competitive advantage.
When Is This Relevant?
Organizations typically require process design
and efficiency support when:
- Launching new operations or expanding into new markets
- Experiencing bottlenecks, low productivity, or high labor costs
- Preparing for warehouse automation or process digitization
- Facing underutilized assets or outdated standard operating procedures
- Seeking to improve service performance while managing costs
- Changes in trade regulations, environmental standards, or customer expectations force to revisit the SC processes.
- Increasing flexibility, adaptability and resilience in the E2E Supply Chain
- Mergers or Acquisitions require to integrate and harmonize their supply chain processes
Challenges Faced
Designing supply chain processes is essential, but it’s also challenging because of:
- Complexity of global Supply Chains
- Cross-functional alignment
- Resistance to change
- Data and visibility issues
- Technology integration
- Balancing standardization and flexibility
- Managing risk and uncertainty
These challenges often result in delayed throughput, rising operational costs, and reduced customer satisfaction.
