A supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information and resources involved in moving a product or service from the supplier to the consumer. According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, supply chain management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing, procurement, conversion and logistics management. Providers of supply chain management consulting services assist manufacturers in the development, implementation and maintenance of their supplier quality management systems. Often times this involves providing supply chain management training. What’s driving the need for supply chain consulting services? Globalization (the process of sourcing, manufacturing, transporting and distributing products outside of a company's native country), increased product complexity, outsourcing and expansion into emerging markets are just some of the factors that have prompted the FDA and other regulatory agencies to look more closely at how manufacturers of regulated products, including pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices, manage their supply chain. Surprisingly, despite the increased regulatory scrutiny and risks associated with today's more sophisticated, global supply chains, a recent survey of more than 500 manufacturing executives found that only two thirds of companies have a supplier quality management system or formal supply chain training program in place. These companies are operating at a major competitive disadvantage. Working with a supply chain management consulting firm to mitigate these risks can have a positive effect on business performance and long-term brand value.
Effective supply chain management training and consulting service providers help manufacturers build stronger, more resilient supply chains. This, in turn, can provide many business and operational benefits.
