SUPPLY CHAIN AUDIT
Supply Chain Audit is a critical examination of business processes to ascertain
performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
Audit is like a medical examination! Everyone and so every business requires one once
in a while. What you know and can measure …. you can fix and place into perspective.
From the results of the “examination” a prescription is obtained to mitigate against the
foregoing. Using SWOT analysis; we focus on opportunities and threats (Risk), being the
external factors. Our clients would then reap on quick gains from the opportunities and
turn around the risk areas into opportunities for innovation.
Most challenges and potential threats to a business do not require money or a capital
investment to fix! They just need simple acts of excellence from staff. This is what GIRO
is committed to accomplishing in every client we engage with. The benefits of audit
normally run in millions of shillings to the business. This is derived primarily from new
capacity created from improved processes, costs savings from risk mitigation, and
innovative ideas that will breathe a new lease of life on the business and much more.
It will reveal potential risks and dormant opportunities making it easy to address
them
It makes Challenges addressing moves from groping in the dark to a sniper
experience
It validates the good and best practices already in place and that does not need
fixing but taking to the next level through innovation!
SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION
Supply chain optimization is the application of processes and tools to ensure the
optimal operation of a business unit. This includes the optimal placement of inventory
within the supply chain, minimizing operating costs (including sourcing costs,
transportation costs, and distribution costs). Supply chain optimization addresses the
general supply chain problem of delivering products to customers at the lowest total
cost and highest profit. This includes trading off the costs of inventory, transportation,
distributing and sourcing.
Supply Chain activities across the organization is a critical success factor that could
6. either facilitate business growth and profitability or be the limiting factor that could
choke and kill the same business unit. It is therefore quite critical to constantly review
and revamp these activities with a view of identifying non value adding, value adding
and ones that needs improvement.
In view of this GIRO SCC seeks to partner with your company to walk through a process
of documentation; analysis and implementation of a work plan to harness the identified
areas of improvement while aligning them with the corporate goals. From past
experience Supply Chain Optimization has the potential of helping firms increase
capacity using current resources without any major investment!
OUTSOURCING SOLUTIONS
It has been proven that strategic outsourcing pays big! This is an area that is fast gaining
prominence in Supply Chain Operations. Non competence areas are contracted to
service providers who will not disappoint but deliver their promise. By outsourcing a
company will re-focus energy and resources on core activities and avoid investments on
stocks and infrastructure that would have been engaged for that purpose.
STRATEGIC NEGOTIATIONS AND CONTRACTING
The current business environment is characterized by cut throat competition and
everyone is looking for an extra edge in competitiveness. Every saving opportunity
would be embraced and indeed firms are actively working closely with their suppliers /
partners to identify areas of innovation and cost reduction beyond pricing reductions.
Some companies have huge numbers of suppliers and partners and as such it would
make sense to outsource such engagements. GIRO seeks to help provide a framework
for such engagements with guaranteed results.
LOGISTICS SUPPORT SERVICES
The world has become a global village where firms are forced to buy from overseas and
within trading blocks in the region. For a successful logistics operation to be realized
there must be active information sharing and timely engagements with Government
agencies to avoid penalties, demurrage, delayed shipments, losses etc. GIRO can
provide a critical link in this process to enable a company to stay on top of things and
achieve desired outcomes.
POLICIES AND SYSTEMS
7. GIRO has been involved in formulation of systems and policies for various companies
and organizations. This documentation is critical to provide a road map for all Supply
Chain undertakings. GIRO is willing to engage with your company or organization on a
process of formulation, implementation and revision of a Procurement Manual
BUSINESS PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING
There comes a time when an Entrepreneur needs to go back to the drawing board and
re-examine entire processes, systems and procedures to validate and change / improve
on any shortcomings. This is usually done in a crisis environment or when experiencing
perennial losses. GIRO is glad to provide expertise to bring this to a reality.
MARKET RESEARCH AND BENCHMARKING
It is good practice to gauge a company’s performance, systems, processes and
procedures against market leaders and other stakeholders. These include supplies
sources, pricing, logistics channels etc. They say information is power! Therefore
information will power your business to the next level and GIRO is willing to provide the
power channel.

(KISM), International Trade Center (ITC) and BOSCH in training several SMEs in Kenya
with very impressive results. The training offers a pragmatic and practical approach in
reducing waste and improving efficiencies on operations without any capital
investments. GIRO can facilitate this training to enable your business to reap from this
proven business revitalizing tool.
STOCK AND WAREHOUSING RATIONALIZATION
It is important to keep only an optimum stock while avoiding over stocking or shortages
however it’s greater to look at whether the stock is needed on your warehouse or the
supplier can deliver as and when it’s required! These are the questions GIRO will seek to
ask and get the answers to deliver smart stock solutions.
