Cost, Cash and Risk Improvement

What we do

105 Consulting works with you to design and deliver a programme of supply chain improvements, prioritised by your needs and by the predicted return on your investment.

Whether your issues are with strategies or operations, we help you to design and install better methods of managing your supply chain costs, cash, and risk.

With you, we deliver relevant business benefits, and increase the procurement and supplier management capability of your organisation.

How we do it

Understanding: First, we take the time to understand your business goals and your critical operational imperatives and challenges. Then we review with you how the current strategy, governance, and objectives, for your procurement and supply chain operations, support the achievement of these goals. This review can cover all suppliers and spend areas across your business.

Diagnosis: We then apply our expertise and processes to diagnose the key opportunities available to improve costs, cash, and risk, and to make an assessment of the resource and effort required to achieve the changes. The outcome of the diagnostic is a range of options for improvement, along with an assessment of their ease of implementation.

Develop and Deliver: Working with you, we develop the key areas to implement and deliver the most effective programme of improvement for your business. Areas for improvement could include: better category management; enhanced demand planning and supply chain management; requirements or specification rationalisation; improved market analysis; increased understanding of the relationship between price and cost; more inclusive stakeholder engagement; faster speed to market for new products and services; stronger contingency planning; better negotiation; outsourcing and in-sourcing opportunities.
