Three core imperatives for future ready supply chains

Based on our successes with companies in a variety of industries, we’ve identified three core capabilities that are key to managing supply chains through uncertainty and ensuring their long-term viability.

1. Visibility

See it

Gain visibility across the end-to-end supply chain. See what your customers need, what they’re consuming now, and what your suppliers are producing. Foresee potential problems and maximize every opportunity.  

KPMG helps you

  • Work collaboratively so you can see what customers, suppliers and logistics partners see
  • Anticipate issues and get early warning to potential problems and demand/ supply disconnects
  • Use data (external signals and internal data sources) and advanced scenario modelling to make better, more informed decisions

2. Analytics

Analyze it 

Leverage data to drive better and more profitable decisions.  Understand the cost of complexity and the true cost to serve.  Employ machine learning to identify anomalies and to avoid potential problems.

KPMG helps you

  • Understand the cost of complexity and the true cost to serve
  • Collate data—raw, structured, unstructured—and derive robust insights and recommendations
  • Use advanced modeling and analytics to unlock hidden opportunities beyond human analysis
  • Explore scenarios to improve profitability and the economic contribution of every SKU and order

3. Planning

Plan it

Drive improved supply chain planning with faster cross-functional decision making.  Improve the quality of the demand signal by leveraging external signals.  Ensure alignment across the extended supply chain.  Optimize inventory, capacity, logistics and network strategies.

KPMG helps you

  • Improve the effectiveness and speed of traditional sales and operations planning processes
  • Leverage external signals to improve the quality of the demand signal and forecast accuracy
  • Implement supply planning processes that leverage visibility into the extended supply chain
  • Develop mid- and long-term, proven S&OP/E and IBP capabilities
