SUPPLY CHAIN AUDIT Supply Chain Audit is a critical examination of business processes to ascertain performance and identify potential areas for improvement. Audit is like a medical examination! Everyone and so every business requires one once in a while. What you know and can measure …. you can fix and place into perspective. From the results of the “examination” a prescription is obtained to mitigate against the foregoing. Using SWOT analysis; we focus on opportunities and threats (Risk), being the external factors. Our clients would then reap on quick gains from the opportunities and turn around the risk areas into opportunities for innovation. Most challenges and potential threats to a business do not require money or a capital investment to fix! They just need simple acts of excellence from staff. This is what GIRO is committed to accomplishing in every client we engage with. The benefits of audit normally run in millions of shillings to the business. This is derived primarily from new capacity created from improved processes, costs savings from risk mitigation, and innovative ideas that will breathe a new lease of life on the business and much more. It will reveal potential risks and dormant opportunities making it easy to address them It makes Challenges addressing moves from groping in the dark to a sniper experience It validates the good and best practices already in place and that does not need fixing but taking to the next level through innovation!

OUTSOURCING SOLUTIONS It has been proven that strategic outsourcing pays big! This is an area that is fast gaining prominence in Supply Chain Operations. Non competence areas are contracted to service providers who will not disappoint but deliver their promise. By outsourcing a company will re-focus energy and resources on core activities and avoid investments on stocks and infrastructure that would have been engaged for that purpose. STRATEGIC NEGOTIATIONS AND CONTRACTING The current business environment is characterized by cut throat competition and everyone is looking for an extra edge in competitiveness. Every saving opportunity would be embraced and indeed firms are actively working closely with their suppliers / partners to identify areas of innovation and cost reduction beyond pricing reductions. Some companies have huge numbers of suppliers and partners and as such it would make sense to outsource such engagements. GIRO seeks to help provide a framework for such engagements with guaranteed results.
