Customised Supply Chain Logistics Solutions for Industries

Global competition, consumer expectations and unstable economic conditions are influential factors to the on-going evolution of the supply chain industry. Today it is facing even more challenges including:

• Increased volatility in demand
• Higher customer expectations
• Increased cost pressures
• Increase global competition
• Increased volatility of commodities prices
• Higher complexity of demand patterns
• Expanding global labor markets
• Regulation changes

With this in mind, many supply chain executives have begun to shift their priorities from reducing operating costs to customer services, speedy delivery, and improving products or services.

BR International responds to this shift in priority with the following solutions:

• Solution Design
• Technology Integration
• Process Improvement
• Performance and Project Measurement
• Account Management

Solution Design

We closely look at your existing network, transport and warehouse designs to see how we can better improve it.

Network Strategy

We devise your current network process to guarantee better network management. We do this by conducting an in-depth network analysis and propose a more efficient network design which may include change management. Some questions we may ask are:

• How can my supply chain network be changed to improve service levels?
• What impact will shifting to a lower cost network have on service levels?

Transport Design

Our years of logistics experience has made us expert transport designers. Thus providing fast and reliable inbound, outbound and reverse logistics management solutions.

Our team of logistics experts design and implement cost effective and reliable transport systems by considering these factors:

• How many distribution centers are needed and where should they be located?
• Should alternate ports of entry be a consideration?
• Can foreign trade zones be leveraged to reduce trade compliance costs?

Value Chain Strategy Matrix

The value chain strategy mix combines technology, engineering, asset and brand within a single framework. Using this matrix, we are able to correctly plot the relationship between manufacturing costs and fulfilment costs.

Pipeline Strategies

More complex industries require more than the four factors utilised in the value chain strategy model. This prompts us to use a different strategy - the pipeline strategy.

We commonly use this for industries requiring more focus on supply and demand - mostly e-commerce and the retail industry. Using the gathered data from this model, BR International establishes value added strategies geared toward improving your supply chain logistics process such as:

Re-work/re-packing/returns management

Re-work or redress is the customisation or modification of products, often to suit a local market. It covers the re-packing of finished products to support product launches and promotions, and can also include re-palletization.

Re-packing of products made in China

Products made in China can have Mandarin or Cantonese labels. You need to ensure that these labels are translated into English when it is imported into Australia. Moreover, it has to fit the taste and preference of your target market.

Product launches

We provide purpose fit solutions to suit your needs which is incorporated within the following stages:

Pre launch

Pre launch follows the implementation of the customer. We find out what you already do and what you want to do. We then look at new innovation and collaborate ideas for a better solution for your company's needs.

Launch

We measure your connectivity and make sure both BRi and your company's systems talk to each other to ensure an efficient product launch.

Post launch

We assess the efficiency of the strategic solution BRi provided. We sit and analyse the savings, cost and time effectiveness of the project. As a result, we are able to continuously improve and develop the product launch design for each individual company we service.
