Through optimising the supply chain with key processes in mind, businesses can set up a long-term strategy that capitalises on their successful handling of challenges, says JDA Software.
Through its Strategic Vision service, JDA assists in the identification of promising growth areas and creates unique supply chains aligned to goals in these areas, resulting in a three- to five-year strategy that aims for a powerful transformation of supply-and-demand capabilities.
"Our JDA Strategic Services consultants possess a wealth of knowledge and experience," said Imran Khan, senior VP, consulting services, at JDA Software. "They are industry experts that understand the supply chain challenges that companies face and they have helped companies specify the highest-impact supply chain solutions and ensure that the entire organisation - from strategic vision and the organisation structure, to daily operations practices - are aligned for world-class results."
Through the company's new expanded Strategic Services suite, top customer strategies have been translated into actionable and prioritised improvement schemes, accompanied by a high-level solution footprint, not only allowing for long-term planning, but also the successful use of 'quick-win' opportunities.
"JDA is currently helping us understand whether our processes today are good enough to achieve the business growth we need. Is the technology platform scalable? Do we need to do something differently? Those are the critical questions the JDA Strategic Services team is helping us answer," said Arun Gupta, customer care associate and group CTO at Shoppers Stop.
"JDA is helping us focus on the requirements, processes, workflows and implementation methodologies we need to scale up," said Gupta.
Also included as services are tools centered on phased financial changes, timeline-based management and business process management - especially when considering outdated roles and responsibilities.
Careful long-term planning, coupled with these optimisations, as well as inventory and finance metrics, allows for a full quantification of users' achievements, says JDA, ensuring companies have people, processes, metrics and technology tools placed for success.
