Speed in manufacturing isn't enough any more! Many American manufacturers (some of them our clients) are now providing four hour turnaround on stock orders, and one day shipment from production lines is no longer rare. The company that wants service to be a true competitive weapon must make its move farther out on the distribution network. For the same reasons, companies that want to minimize product cost must often include material acquisition and product distribution cost in their thinking. To help meet these needs, The Stanton Group has added capabilities in distribution logistics and forecasting to our staff skill set. We now have the ability to help clients plan work flow from forecast, through order entry and raw material acquisition, through delivery to the customer. These are the tools that allow our clients to take charge of time as a resource, and as a competitive tool. Raw material that isn't at a production line, or product that is sitting on a truck somewhere, can't satisfy customer needs. The Stanton Group can help keep material and products available to do their jobs, through warehouse layout and systems, and through state-of-the-art logistical planning. |
