2. How can we help you? Meet our specialist
Supply Chain Management consists of all parties directly or
indirectly involved in the supply of items to a customer. If poorly
managed problems such as rising costs, poor relationships and
ultimately loss of profits can occur.
In many organisations the supporting supply chain is not
sufficiently aligned to the company’s strategic goals and objectives
to create success. We have created the Gateway to Supply Chain
Management to specifically to address this shortfall. It has been
designed to give business owners the skills to develop supply chain
strategies that will make strategic goals attainable.
Colin Hanson-New is one of our skilled team of experts, offering
training and consultancy to businesses of all sizes. He is the lead
specialist for the Gateway to Supply Chain Management.
He has more than 40 years’ experience working with small
and large manufacturing businesses and is a lecturer with
the University of Derby, delivering the Chartered Institute of
Procurement and Supply professional qualification.
“Supply chain strategy focuses on driving down operational
costs and maximising efficiencies. Having an effective supply
chain strategy enables the establishment of how you work with
your supply chain partners, including suppliers, distributors,
customers, and even your customers’ customers. As the
marketplace becomes more competitive, it is critical to reinforce
existing relationships and work together. And for all these
reasons, we will help you develop a well-executed supply chain
strategy resulting in value creation for the business.”
