Our Solution
Supply chain modernization is now a necessity for retailers to boost revenue and ensure sustainability.
Please replace with: TCS Cognitive Supply Chain Consulting is a business consulting service enabled by a robust ecosystem of assets, capabilities, and accelerators that our business consultants leverage to transform three core dimensions of supply chains—design, optimization, and operations—to achieve KPIs. Design improves forecasting and capacity utilization; optimization improves customer service, cashflow, and margins; and operations enable real-time visibility and agility.
Core dimensions of transformation
Our business consultants partner with chief supply chain officers (CSOs) to address core business challenges by synchronizing domain, technology, and business levers to enable digital supply chain transformation.
Examples of the challenges include:
- Making supply chains resilient
- Improving on-time in-full (OTIF)
- Improving availability while reducing the cost to serve
- Onboarding new vendors on the fly to fulfill demand
- Improving carbon footprint
We unlock great value by harmonizing the complexities across domain, technology, and business functions, and building capabilities across the three key dimensions (Figure 1):
- Dimension 1: Supply chain design
We help you find the right blend of automation and simulations to ensure supply chain resiliency so that you have the right product at the right place in the right quantity, and at the right time—at every node, thereby avoiding over and under-stocking. We improve the cost to serve associated with logistics, operations, and fulfillment, and improve forecasting, productivity, and capacity utilization.
- Dimension 2: Supply chain optimization
We help you improve customer service levels, cashflow, and margins; create new fulfillment propositions; and improve the cost to serve and the last-mile fulfillment cost.
- Dimension 3: Supply chain smart ops
We equip you with real-time visibility and intelligent insights to effectively plan for supply based on demand and capacity; reduce labor and administration costs; and eliminate manual interventions.
