New networks can be managed through our Logistics Control Centre's (LCC’s) for high growth regions to facilitate process commonality from one region to another. Risk is reduced and visiblity increased.
We define flexibility as:
Logistics flexibility – the ability to cost effectively receive and deliver product as sources of supply and customers change (customer location changes, globalisation, and postponement).
Supply flexibility – the ability to reconfigure the supply chain, altering the supply of product in line with customer demand
Organisational flexibility – the ability to align labor force skills to the needs of the supply chain to meet customer service/demand requirements
Information systems flexibility – the ability to align information system architectures and systems with the changing information needs of the organisation as it responds to changing customer demand.
