DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

This is the first presentation in a 3-part series on the "Centre of Excellence (CoE) for a Smarter Supply Chain," based on the academic research of Dr. Lai Ving Kam.

This SCM sub series discusses the following steps for establishing a successful supply chain centre of excellence:

1. CoE readiness assessment
2. Executive sponsorship and guidance
3. Good analytical tools
4. Bring core CoE team members together in one place
5. Career path for CoE team members
6. Know when to call in reinforcements

Center of Excellence (CoEs)
A strategic, cross-functional and global team that
• Facilitates organization to synchronize / complement all the business sustaining competencies
• Ensures a progressive environment is optimally constructed, performing, and supportive of changing requirement s

Establish organization-wide constant renewal and enhancement of pertinent conceptual, definitions, calculations, business rules
-Eliminate indecision, procrastination, confusion in strategic analysis

Encourage business sustainability
-Migrating reporting capabilities to the business users
-Promoting digitalization and Internet of Things in making on-demand data in decision making supporting system a reality

Significant business change and fluctuating levels of complexity make it extremely intricate for global companies with multiple, independent supply chains to achieve internal supply chain alignment across divisions.

On the outset, centres of excellence may sound like a universal remedy for supply chain management challenges as it lead the company in the right direction.

However, although they have provided significant value for some companies and their supply chains, they have proved less useful for others especially with the globalized market environment.

The decision to adopt a CoE strategy therefore comes with a few notable caveats, and ensuring a CoE's long-term viability and sustainability requires some candid self-analysis as well as proactive change management.

When done right, a CoE can be a valuable asset that produces long-lasting benefits. This review will discuss the various steps for establishing a successful supply chain Centre of Excellence.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"As a young consulting firm, requests for input from clients vary and it's sometimes impossible to provide expert solutions across a broad spectrum of requirements. That was before I discovered Flevy.com.

Through subscription to this invaluable site of a plethora of topics that are key and crucial to consulting, I have been able to exceed expectations and deliver quality advice and solutions to my clients. The quality and expertise of the authors are exemplary and gives me great confidence to use as part of my service offerings.

I highly recommend this company for any consultant wanting to apply international best practice standards in their service offerings. "

"One of the great discoveries that I have made for my business is the Flevy library of training materials.

As a Lean Transformation Expert, I am always making presentations to clients on a variety of topics: Training, Transformation, Total Productive Maintenance, Culture, Coaching, Tools, Leadership Behavior, etc. Flevy usually has just what I need to make my point.

It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say. Flevy has saved me countless hours of preparation time that is much better spent with implementation that will actually save money for my clients."

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.

Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world."
