KANO offers several services to help with this challenge, such as supply chain and operations transformation, supply chain technology architecture, supply chain software selection, sales and operations planning, inventory, warehouse, and logistics optimization.

Supply Chain And Operations Transformation

Our Supply Chain and Operations Transformation services start with an assessment of the current pain points with the current systems and existing supply chain processes, metrics, and technologies. The assessment results in building high-level as-is and to-be processes and change management and process reengineering recommendations. Depending upon the changes required, the changes could be as small as a process or data changes. Or a complete process and technology transformation.

Supply Chain Technology Architecture

This service helps build supply chain technology architecture depending upon the number of systems involved in different areas of supply chain planning such as S&OP, TMS, WMS, OMS, or FMS. This service ensures the process boundaries of different systems, including master data governance workflows, and how all the systems would work together to deliver on the process and planning goals as per desired KPIs.

Supply Chain Software Selection

This service helps in selecting different supply chain software, including buy vs. build decisions. The process starts with setting clear boundaries of the process and interaction flow for the desired component, then building requirement and solution matrix to evaluate different solutions, including RFP development, vendor negotiations, and the voting process for the selection.

And finally recommends any changes, whether they might be system or process related to meet the efficiency goals.

Supply Chain Network Design And Footprint Optimization
