Improve Supply Chain Performance

CIRAS can review a client’s supply chain to assess possible problems and provide education and coaching to improve.

We work with Iowa companies on various supply chain management topics including:

• Sourcing strategy, including determining total cost of ownership (TCO) and evaluating reshoring opportunities
• Inventory management, education, and improvement
• Purchasing and supplier management to improve service and reduce total costs
• Coaching and support on various logistics topics including warehousing, transportation, distribution strategy, and technology

CIRAS can help an Iowa business:

• Develop effective inventory management practices to reduce capital tied up in inventory and improve customer service levels
• More effectively manage suppliers and reduce risk in supply chain, thus lowering overall costs
• Develop supply chain and distribution strategies to help improve service levels and grow revenue
