Supply Chain Optimization

Performance Plus Consultants are the industry leaders in total supply chain optimization. We define total supply chain optimization as .....

A supply chain is optimized when it is meeting or exceeding its customer service objectives and it is operating at minimal total supply chain costs and minimal carbon footprint.

Minimal Total Supply Chain Cost:

Our view of a supply chain starts with raw materials, usually extracted from the earth, and ends with the ultimate consumption of a finished product by the end consumer (people like you and I). Utilizing this view of a supply chain, costs can be divided into the following major components:

• Manufacturing (to build the product)
• Packaging (to hold the product)
• Transportation (to move the product)
• Inventory Carrying Costs (to store the product)

Minimal Carbon Footprint:

Organization's can no longer ignore their impact on the environment. Fortunately, it is possible to simultaneously reduce carbon emissions and total supply chain costs!

More information on these exciting opportunities can be found at optimizing the supply chain carbon footprint.
