This
Involves:
Understanding
customer supplier relationships, both
internal and external.
Having
a culture supporting trust, teamwork, communication
and a win/win attitude.
Giving
and receiving feedback
We help Clients in the process of developing and maintaining
an integrated supply chain by taking into account:
Reducing
costs of carrying out business, known as transactional
costs. These include tendering, invoices,
nonstandard forms of contracts and any other aspects
of doing
business which adds cost but does not contribute significant
value.
Standardizing
methods of working so that repetitive processes become familiar
and quality can
be improved. These can include design details for common
elements or standardized methods
of carrying out certain construction activities.
Developing
the capability of every business in the supply chain. The supply
chain can become a great source of knowledge and
ideas for performance improvement. Particularly where its
members are SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises),
there can be considerable
advantages in companies sharing the cost of training
and staff development.
Planning,
scheduling and controlling construction projects so that site activities
become
increasingly stable with more predictable outcomes.
The Rewards
There are tremendous benefits of being part of an integrated supply
chain, namely improved profitability, greater continuity of work
and a more stable operating environment. There is also the added
synergy, motivational and continuous improvement benefits that can
be derived from close working relationships with adjacent partners
in the supply chain. And, through earlier involvement of all elements
of the supply chain and more thorough pre-start planning, it is
expected that there will be considerable additional benefits in
terms of improved health and safety performance within the industry.
