Custom Supply Chain Solutions - DHX Software

Think of your business goals. Are any of those NOT tied to your supply chain? Every improvement that creates efficiency in your supply chain can have profound effects on net profit (efficiency) and customer experience (revenue). That’s why managing your supply chain is so important and why having a custom supply chain solution built specifically for your business -- for your unique supply chain -- can be the difference you’re looking for in creating the success your team expects.

What Is A Customized Supply Chain?

A customized supply chain is one that is tailored to your processes, procedures, vendors, suppliers, etc. It’s all about data. You may think in terms of raw materials, supplies, shipping, and customer support, and you’d be correct. But underlying all of that is data. Using that data to create an efficient supply chain is what a custom supply chain solution will do. It will also create visibility into your systems, as well as reports, analytics, and business intelligence that will help you stay two steps ahead of your competition and on track to achieving your performance goals.

What Are The 3 Supply Chain Strategies?

There are actually six models of supply chain management, but these are really combinations of three primary supply chain strategies. These strategies include:

• Speed: This strategy focuses on reducing the amount of time to produce your products or services. Speed includes agility and scalability.
• Price/Efficiency: This strategy involves getting all facets of your supply chain to work in harmony, creating efficiency that shows up on your bottom line.
• Continuous-Flow: This strategy creates a supply chain that aligns itself with supply and demand, ensuring a continuous output needed by your market and industry. This is all about stability.

Supply Chain Management Challenges in 2021 And 2022

As you build your custom supply chain solutions, keep these trends and challenges in mind.

• Availability of Materials: 2021 saw major issues with the supply chain due to wide fluctuations in supply and demand, with the two out of sync.
• Inflation: Along with the limited availability of materials comes an increase in price. These prices don’t just flow through to your customer. They affect your entire supply chain.
• Demand Forecasting: This has proven extremely difficult due to the issues mentioned above. Having full visibility into your supply chain data will help you minimize risks here.
• Disruption: The pandemic has disrupted our entire economy. Workers are working from home. Consumers have changed their buying habits. The national supply chain is strained. All of that combines for a disrupted supply chain for your business.

Understanding these challenges will help you create the right solution for your business.
