Elucidate

Case Study: How Replenishing Inventory by Pulling it thru the Supply Chain increases profits
Five Steps to Results
IDEA ensures Elucidate engagements are successful by:

1) Introduction
A 30 minute conversation about improving the flow of product (much more sales supported by less inventory) with actual examples to check for interest. 

2) Get Specific
Every company is different. Simulations against your actual representative data are performed. If the results suggest an opportunity for significant improvement, a meeting is set with top management to explain the results, answer questions and use management’s knowledge to estimate the magnitude of Elucidate’s impact on the company.

3) Full buy-in
Many business reengineering efforts fail due to of lack of commitment. We share a customized strategic plan detailing how to build a decisive competitive edge for the company and capitalize on it. Included is implementation logic of why each step is needed when, what actions to take, how they produce results and how each step fits into the larger whole. We take the time needed with top management to gain a unanimous recommendation to the CEO or the Board of Directors to fully implement Elucidate.

4) Proof
Without delay, a 3 to 6 month pilot is embarked upon with a significant subset of the client’s products and locations, the scope of which includes the relationships with major suppliers and customers. During the pilot, once the actual benefits are clear, we formalize the terms of an engagement which are in both parties' best interests.

5) 
Rollout and Review
The remaining products, suppliers and customers are addressed.  Results are tracked.  During quarterly audits, opportunities are found and any deviations are identified and corrections made.
