Supply and Demand Operation BPR Service Overview

Supply & Demand Assessment Service
Identifying potential issues within your own operations objectively and comprehensively can be challenging.
At ABeam Consulting, we leverage our extensive expertise in supply and demand transformation to uncover both visible and hidden challenges and deliver actionable improvement strategies.
Our primary offering, Supply & Demand Transformation Design, provides a comprehensive and effective approach to initiating supply-demand transformation. In addition, we offer solutions such as Supply & Demand Process Level Diagnosis and Inventory Assessment, enabling deeper insights and more accurate analysis from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives.

  • Supply & Demand Transformation Design
    We organize the key issues, define a clear future vision, and develop a roadmap to achieve supply-demand transformation.

  • Supply & Demand Process Level Diagnosis
    Leveraging the deep insights and proven methodologies accumulated through our consulting experience, we perform a quantitative analysis of interview findings to evaluate and diagnose the maturity of your supply-demand processes.

  • Inventory Assessment 
    Inventory is a key performance indicator for any business. Our Inventory Assessment service leverages real operational data to simulate scenarios and quantify the impact of potential improvements. We then translate these insights into actionable strategies for optimization.

S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) Process Implementation Support
Organizations with strong top-down decision-making structures often accelerate business operations by actively adopting S&OP. However, when introducing S&OP in environments where operational strength characterized by flexibility and accuracy plays a central role, it is essential to account for these structural and cultural differences.
At ABeam Consulting, we propose an approach where a flat S&OP Brain Team acts as the facilitator, rather than relying solely on top-down governance. This model leverages a culture of alignment and consensus-building, ensuring that S&OP implementation harmonizes both strategic decision-making speed and operational precision.
