Do you need help ensuring your business processes and networks are efficient? As supply chain consultants, we are here to help with all your supply chain management needs. We are a highly analytical team with decades of experience in both planning and operational roles.

We have a thorough understanding of data modelling, forecasting and relevant mathematical techniques to ensure your supply chain is optimised and to facilitate the logistics of getting the right product to the right place at the right time.Supply chain management is not just logistics, it is a wide and varied requirement that includes procurement, supply and demand planning, forecasting, network design and inventory control.

Inventory is a requirement to protect supply and is one of the most important assets of any supply chain. Inventory ensures continuity of supply and service requirements during procurement or manufacturing lead times. It also serves to protect against unplanned variations to demand and supply within those lead times.

Supply chains are a complex network of companies, people, resources, systems and information. The potential for disconnects and sub-optimisation between all of these different elements is significant, and efficient supply chain planning is a necessity. The team at Paul Trudgian are here to ensure your supply chain is optimised and efficient.

An effective S&OP process is a powerful tool that our consultants can deliver for your business. S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) is a process that harmonises the supply and demand plans of a business over the mid-to-long term horizon. In addition to bridging the supply and demand plans, S&OP also focuses on integrating financial reporting as well as encompassing market planning, new product development and business strategy.
