Today's customers expect ever shorter delivery times. But speed alone is not enough.

Reliability, responsiveness and availability are the qualities that count most in today's competitive environment. To achieve this, a modern supply chain must be both fast and flexible.

It is therefore important to avoid an overly standardized approach, and to adapt the responsiveness of the supply chain to customers' real-life problems. Not all customers need immediate order processing, or are prepared to pay the cost.

Customer and product segmentation must determine appropriate service levels. The best supply chains have execution capabilities that operate at multiple speeds to serve each segment.

Our logistics consultants are well aware of this, and provide tailor-made recommendations to suit the situation.

The aim of supply chain visibility is to obtain accurate information on the operation of your supply chain, while reducing risk. Combine this information with user data collection, and you have a supply chain that can be optimized and made as efficient as possible.

At SPK-GLOBAL, we believe that better supply chain visibility can be achieved through a variety of means. The common theme is improving employee awareness.

From one end of the logistics chain to the other, employees need to be multi-skilled. The more competent eyes and ears you have in your team, the smoother logistics will be. That's why our consultancy offers

train your employees in the best technologies for efficient product tracking at all times;
invest in improving the skills of your employees at all levels;
focus on operational flow for fast, efficient decision-making.

Due to its size and complexity, the supply chain has a significant impact on the environment. The supply chain encompasses the entire process of creating and distributing goods.

While value chain modeling can encourage companies to keep costs low and processes fast, it can also have adverse consequences.

From the sourcing of raw materials to create products, to the way these finished products are transported to their final distributor, the supply chain can use up many precious, non-renewable resources at every stage of the process.
