Retail supply chain
A.T. Kearney’s global supply chain team has been helping retailers fundamentally rethink their supply chain strategies and execute the transformation. Our approach takes a “supplier-to-shelf” view of the retail supply chain—recognizing the importance of integrating merchandising, store, and supplier processes to deliver on cost and growth goals.
Using the Retail Supply Chain Performance Framework, A.T. Kearney begins with your customers—from merchandising and stores to suppliers. The framework becomes the basis for competitive supply chain strategies, which help retailers identify near-term improvement opportunities destined to become building blocks for the future.
The Retail Supply Chain Performance Framework, for example, illustrates how a better understanding of pack mix and shelf requirements makes it possible to optimize inventory and flow strategies while improving store labor efficiencies. Aligning supplier deliveries to store requirements can improve the productivity of distribution assets and operations.
