Supply chain management solutions

On-demand, focused and rapid to deploy supply chain management solutions will be the key to success in dynamic and challenging Building Products world.

On-demand, focused and rapid to deploy supply chain management solutions will be the key to success in today's - and tomorrow's - dynamic and challenging Building Products world.

A huge business sector by any measure, building products is a major economic driver globally and locally.

Recently, revenues for the 25 largest building product contractors topped more than US $200 billion - in industrialised nations, building products accounts for at least four percent of the gross domestic product and, in several countries, the percentage is well above that.

Some segments of the industry have enjoyed buoyant growth in recent years - the leading European companies, for instance, and the US homebuilding sector.

This growth has been fuelled by the frenzy of mergers and acquisitions that reshaped the industry into fewer, larger companies, adding organisational complexity.

More and more, the industry is global and requires enhanced supply chain management capabilities.

Diversification has moved many companies into related and often unrelated businesses with differing products and client services.

Building Products supply chains are complex and diverse which often results in:.

* High management costs.

* Poor control.

* Lack of clear process visibility.

* Variable service performance.
