LEVEL IV ™ - Achieving Breakthrough Supply Chain Results
Distribution-intensive companies face the challenges of rising operating costs, expanding service requirements and constant changes in their capital-intensive distribution networks. Traditional approaches can sub-optimize the whole by focusing too narrowly on discrete components of the supply chain (inventory, logistics, warehouse management), limiting potential benefits and adding complexity.
A Holistic Approach
CSC's LEVEL IV™ facilitates discovery and effectiveness at the "Network Level" by taking a more holistic approach to the design, implementation and active management of a distribution network. LEVEL IV™ represents a very advanced stage of performance on CSC's Supply Chain Maturity Model, where companies and their key trading partners compete as an extended supply chain.
- Links customers, distributors and suppliers together with logistics operations to enable a single network centric view of demand and supply
- Assesses scenarios in order to optimize the flow of materials, information and cash to reduce lead-times and minimize cost
- Combines the disciplines of supply chain modeling, forecasting, inventory management, transportation and warehousing to provide breakthrough results
Benefits of taking this new approach can be a reduction in total supply network costs of 2 to 8 percent of revenue through, better customer service levels, reduced inventory, transportation, handling and material costs.
