Your Supply Chain Is Our Core Focus
Afrilog sets itself apart from the competition, through its commitment to offering unrivalled service and support, by constantly innovating and adapting in key supply chain areas
Customized Category Management
Afrilog provides accurate procurement to specification by focusing on technical expertise and an awareness of the individual procurement material categories. By further segmenting material categories according to the SPEQ model, specific execution methods enable direct and indirect cost savings through material price reductions and by promoting the lowest total cost approach throughout the supply chain.
Our personalized category management services are intended to help you achieve the following goals:
- Technical Procurement
- SPEQ Categorisation
- Cost Minimisation/ Saving Optimisation
Tail-End Spend Management
- Time – Excessive transactions divert important time away from critical supply chain opportunities and challenges.
- Documentation – Multiple pieces of paper are generated for each transaction across the supply chain; these administrative costs are incorporated into the supply chain in some way or another.
- Errors – Increased transaction volume results in increased possibility for error and increased data to monitor and manage, increasing the likelihood of supply chain errors that result in additional costs or delays.
- Reduce total transaction volume and time
- Relive procurement organisation of large volumes
- Increased capacity of client resources
- Reduced total supply chain cost
Inventory Management
(Demand Planning and Management) With rising working capital demands in global supply chains, leveraging vendors to better support inventory in the right location and at the right time has become increasingly crucial. Managing consignment and vendor contracts, on the other hand, can be a complicated undertaking, and typical commercial terms are no longer sufficient. Afrilog homogenises this procedure by leveraging pre-existing and established vendor agreements.
Our consignment / Vendor Inventory Management (VMI) services and warehouse management provide for:
- Rapid deployment of inventory on-site transparent agreements with clear business rules
- Shorter lead times
- Less working capital
Solutions to streamline your inventories
Local procurement, consignment, VMI, and materials requirement planning play a major role in:
- Simplified inventory management
- Reduced risk of overselling
- Cost-savings
- Avoidance of stock-outs and excess stock
- Improved business negotiations
- Better product visibility in the event of a recall
- Security of supply
Vendor Management
Managing a diverse set of vendors in today’s global supply chain while adhering to all regulatory and performance benchmarks is getting increasingly complicated. With an established network of vendors, we can assure our clients that vendors have been vetted and evaluated continuously through effective performance monitoring. This enables our clients to focus on cost reduction, service quality, and risk mitigation to extract additional value from vendors across the contract life cycle to:
- Reduced administration
- Improve the quality of your service
- Reduce your costs and Leadtime
