Carpédia works with companies in many different industries to help them manage their supply chain more effectively. Our work in supply chain improvement is often driven by a company’s desire to improve service, shorten order cycle times and reduce capital costs (e.g. space and tied up inventory). We work with managers from many functional areas to streamline the flow of goods through the business, reduce supply and distribution costs, and improve inventory management. We work at the front end of the supply chain (vendor selection and raw material inventory management) through the fulfillment process (order scheduling and work in process inventories) and at the back end (product distribution and final goods inventories).

Some of the specific result areas we focus on include:

• Improved forecasting and demand planning.
• Improved customer service (order fill) levels.
• Reduced order cycle times.
• Reduced logistics costs.
