Making Supply Chain Excellence Ubiquitous

 
 

Transforming supply chains into a value creating competitive advantage

It has never been more important to have a strong & resilient supply chain able to support your business objectives in all environments – regardless of disruptions occurring all around you.  However, the experience and ability to build this is far too often reserved only for the large global corporations with the resources and history to do so – ultimately creating an even greater advantage over their smaller competitors.  At Vital Link Consulting, we are committed to turning that table, and bringing these same advantages to companies of all sizes.

Vital Link merges the experience leading global supply chains for some of the largest and most successful organizations with an entrepreneurial spirit, passion, and understanding of what it takes to launch, grow, and operate a successful brand or manufacturing company.  We partner closely with small-to-medium high-growth companies to develop customized supply chain strategies and solutions that fit perfectly with their organizational objectives.  This allows you to stay flexible and respond quickly to accelerate growth opportunities without needing to worry about whether your supply chain can support it……gaining the competitive edge against the much larger competition!

No task is too large or small – from building a complete supply chain strategy & design, to solving a tactical problem, to being your outsourced operations team - Vital Link is ready to be your supply chain solutions partner!  Contact us today to discuss.

Key Support Areas

s&oP

The starting point for building a resilient supply chain is having an effective demand forecast tied directly to a detailed supply chain plan. This can take many shapes and forms - often referred to as Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP). You may think you aren’t ready for an S&OP program, but we’ll show you how to get the value of it within your current organization.
 

logistics

The needs of a logistics department has changed significantly with the emergence of a multitude of disruptors along with heightened retailer and consumer expectations. Determining the best physical, system, and partnership solutions that meet your specific needs can become a very confusing (although critical) task. Vital Link will ensure you have the right distribution network and capabilities, order fulfillment processes, and transportation partnerships in place to consistently win with your customers.

manufacturing strategy / optimization

Wondering how and where best to manufacture your product? Vital Link will make a holistic assessment of your situation, provide the guidance to help make the best decision, and even support executing the plan with favorable supplier agreements or building internal capabilities. Already have manufacturing in place and need to reduce costs or squeeze more capacity out of it? Vital Link will drive waste out of your manufacturing processes and ensure significant efficiency improvement through Lean Manufacturing and other proven processes.

sourcing & procurement

Having a supplier network that consistently delivers on quality, service and cost is fundamental to successful supply chain execution. Whether you need to build a new supplier network to support a launch, or improve your existing network, Vital Link will help get the right partners with the right agreements in place to meet your needs.

Outsourced Operations

Do you wish you could hire specialists with expertise in each aspect of supply chain management, but don’t yet have the workload or budget to support that? Vital Link can provide fractional resources to serve as your operations team bringing the expertise you need at the budget you can afford!

Leadership presence

Are you at that phase in your organization’s growth when you feel like you need an experienced operations leader, but you aren’t quite ready to take the leap into hiring one full time? Vital Link will bring the necessary leadership presence to your team to help bridge the gap with flexible support models designed to meet your specific situation.
