As supply chain demands increase in complexity, innovation is key to gaining a competitive edge. We provide timely and reliable supply chain visibility and data, so you can anticipate problems and take advantage of opportunities. The Professional Services Group for Menlo Worldwide Logistics designs supply chain solutions based on customer-identified needs. Whether you have specific or multiple requirements, let us help position your company for sustained competitive advantage on a global scale.
Our unique perspective balances strategy, design and operating philosophies to provide our clients with a competitive advantage—from strategy through execution and beyond. Independence gives us the flexibility to select discrete or combined solutions from within the Menlo Worldwide Logistics family, or from a wide array of outside partners and providers.
Our supply chain solutions include:
Operations/Logistics Strategy Alignment—We help you align your supply chain strategies with your corporate strategies. We ensure that all the necessary resources, including people, processes and technology are aligned to provide complete synchronization between operations.
Transportation Strategy Optimization—We provide strategic and operational direction in implementing, managing and optimizing your transportation operations to support your transportation strategy, including defining core carrier programs, managing carrier bids across multiple modes, and implementing a carrier performance management program.
Outsource vs. In-house Analyses—We help you identify core competencies and those areas of your business that are possible outsourcing opportunities. We use financial and mathematical tools to help organizations understand the cost-benefit relationship between outsourcing certain aspects of the supply chain versus retaining the capability in-house.
Strategic Network Configuration—Model and optimize your global supply chain configuration, including infrastructure design, facility location and sizing, resource allocation, transportation and inventory strategies, service-level analysis, and profitability studies, all with the help of Menlo Worldwide Logistics.
Global Supply Chain Solution Design—Our core competencies lie in the design and implementation of engineered solutions for global customers. In some cases, we design and operate the solutions. In others, we work with clients to help them determine how best to manage their logistics networks.
Lean Logistics—Our consultants have experience designing and implementing Lean logistics programs. These programs provide just-in-time logistics services on a repetitive basis to customers. One of the key enablers of a Lean logistics solution is managing how information is shared between business partners, and more importantly, managing the velocity at which information is being shared.
Postponement—Significant competitive advantage is possible through the use of postponement as a supply chain strategy. Delaying the final assembly of a product until it is required by the end-customer has strong business benefits, including reduced inventory holding costs and increased availability of production capacity. Let us help you define which products could benefit from postponement.
