This service is specifically oriented to companies seeking to evaluate the economics of changing their source of product supply. We offer a unique approach that combines operational and financial data to evaluate the current sourcing model versus alternative options.
Product sourcing studies address the following types of questions:
- Which vendors and/or product lines should we self-distribute or direct store deliver?
- Should we source products through a wholesaler or distributor or should we source directly through the manufacturer?
- Should we consider sourcing product differently? More or less frequently? Through different channels? Through different suppliers?
- What are the economic cost-benefits of changing our source of supply?
- What are the risks and qualitative issues associated with changing our source of supply?
To execute these studies, we architect a sophisticated product costing model that captures all supply chain cost components from source of supply to the customer point of consumption. This model is then used to compare alternate options for product sourcing and provides powerful results. Best of all, the model can be dynamically self-administered to continuously optimize your product sourcing decisions.
