"Enhance productivity and reduce operational inefficiencies. Improve supply chain performance with data-driven insights and process optimization."
Operational efficiency is the hidden multiplier of profitability. In the modern global economy, a company's competitive edge is defined not just by its products, but by the speed, resilience, and cost-effectiveness of its Operations and Supply Chain (OSC). Fragmented processes, inventory bottlenecks, and unpredictable logistics are no longer acceptable risks; they are direct assaults on your bottom line and customer loyalty.
Operation & Supply Chain (OSC) Consulting is the management discipline focused on designing, planning, executing, controlling, and monitoring all activities related to the transformation of inputs into final goods and services. It aims to maximize net value and achieve a sustainable competitive infrastructure.
This service covers the end-to-end flow of goods, information, and funds, categorized into four strategic areas:
| Lever | Focus | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing & Procurement | Vendor management, strategic sourcing, and cost reduction. | Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and a reliable supplier base. |
| Manufacturing & Operations | Production planning, quality control, and asset utilization. | Increased throughput and reduction in waste (via Lean/Six Sigma). |
| Logistics & Distribution | Warehouse management, transportation, and last-mile delivery optimization. | Faster order fulfillment and reduced working capital. |
| Planning & Inventory | Demand forecasting, S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning), and inventory accuracy. | Minimized stockouts and reduced carrying costs. |
TCC-India offers comprehensive, integrated solutions across your entire operational footprint, powered by leading technology platforms:
A strategically optimized supply chain provides a significant competitive advantage through cost savings and superior service delivery.
Optimized inventory, reduced waste from Lean manufacturing, and lower logistics costs combine to drive substantial savings and margin expansion.
Shorter cycle times (O2C) and optimized inventory levels reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and Free Cash Flow requirements.
Faster, more reliable order fulfillment, higher product quality, and accurate inventory promises lead directly to superior customer experiences.
Strategic sourcing and multi-sourcing models mitigate the impact of external supply chain disruptions (e.g., geopolitical crises, commodity volatility).
Integrated ERP systems (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365) provide real-time, end-to-end visibility, enabling proactive management instead of reactive firefighting.
Leveraging SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 to automate P2P and O2C cycles, ensuring real-time visibility and control. Integration with local systems like Tally or Busy is also implemented where required.
Deploying continuous improvement frameworks like 5S, Kaizen, and Value Stream Mapping to eliminate non-value-added activities in production.
Designing and deploying specialized WMS modules (within Dynamics 365 or SAP EWM) to improve picking accuracy, slotting optimization, and inventory accountability.
Auditing and segmenting the supplier base, negotiating contracts for cost reduction, and implementing systems to monitor vendor performance and supply chain risks.
Using advanced analytics and machine learning tools integrated with ERP planning modules to generate accurate demand forecasts and reduce manual planning dependency.
Implementing maintenance schedules and performance metrics such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to maximize uptime of critical machinery.
We tackle the primary hurdles in operations—complexity, data silos, and resistance to standardized processes—with proven methodologies.
Single Source of Truth ERP Implementation: Consolidating financial, inventory, and operational data onto a single, integrated platform (SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics 365), ensuring all teams work from synchronized, real-time data.
Process Ownership & Change Management: Involving key operational stakeholders in Value Stream Mapping and process redesign phases to ensure buy-in, followed by rigorous user training on the new standardized processes.
WMS & Cycle Counting Implementation: Deploying specialized WMS features to enforce better inventory control (e.g., batch tracking, cycle counting) and integrating it with robust demand planning modules in the ERP.
Formal Sourcing & Risk Matrix: Implementing a standardized vendor performance management system, including formal Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and a pre-defined risk matrix to score and diversify the supply base.
Modular & Phased ERP Deployment: Advising clients to implement critical modules (e.g., Financials and Core Inventory) first, demonstrating quick ROI before investing in advanced tools like MES or advanced planning systems.
