Supply Chain Consulting

High-performance organizations require high-performance supply chains. But running a supply chain that is integrated across the enterprise, lean in infrastructure and cost, flexible and nimble, and responsive to customer needs can be a serious management challenge. Logan Consulting helps organizations evaluate their end-to-end supply chains – from planning and sourcing through manufacturing, logistics and fulfillment. We identify specific problem areas that may be limiting performance, as well as opportunities for further enhancing existing infrastructure, strategies, processes, and technologies. From our assessment, we then work with clients to develop and implement realistic and results-focused solutions for realizing supply chain performance potential.

Organization & Process Design

Even the best procurement and sourcing strategies cannot succeed without a carefully planned and managed infrastructure. Logan Consulting works with clients to design sustainable organization structures and business processes to support acquisition mission and goals. And we provide full implementation support that includes coordinated change management and communication strategies to ensure stakeholder understanding and buy in.

Strategic Sourcing

Strategic sourcing – the process of optimizing supply relationships in order to reduce total costs and create an integrated supply chain – is a core component of the Logan Consulting procurement-related services. The Logan Consulting approach to strategic sourcing is commodity based and data driven. We help organizations identify their greatest sourcing value opportunities and introduce analytical methodologies for understanding demand market drivers and supply market dynamics – and translating these into concrete commodity sourcing strategies.

Commodity Lifecycle Management

Commodity lifecycle management encompasses the full spectrum of strategic sourcing activities associated with a specific commodity over time – from the initial sourcing strategy formulation and actual strategy implementation to the ongoing monitoring and evaluating sourcing performance. Logan Consulting helps organizations design and implement repeatable processes to ensure their commodity sourcing strategies continue to meet performance goals and evolve in response to changing supply and demand environments.
