The CAC 40 index companies don’t have the monopoly of logistical constraints! In order to respond to the multiplicity of the SME’s requirements, DynaSys developed a solution “Best of Bread” adapted to the functional and financial issues they have to cope with. For more than 25 years, DynaSys, European leader in Demand & Supply Chain Planning solutions, has proposed solutions that can be integrated, flexible, customisable, and adapted to the company logistical organisation. These solutions allow the optimisation of your Supply Chain and a better control of its complexity. From the beginning on, the n.SKEP One solutions by DynaSys were built with the aim of being immediately profitable for your customers and, of being evolving at the rhythm of your growth, while perpetuating your organisation thanks to a mastered Supply Chain function.

THE SMEs' Challenges

The Supply Chain performance is not especially dedicated to big groups and, multinational corporations are mostly transferring their logistical constraints on their suppliers that are mostly SMEs. The product life cycle shortening and the flow complexity give out the Supply Chain Management & optimisation more and more difficult. In order to stay competitive and profitable, companies need to master and to reduce their delays, as well as their production, distribution and procurement costs and, above all, to have a more flexible Supply Chain, so that they can respond, on an optimal way, to the market evolutions and thus, win more market shares.

This agility, that is nowadays necessary for the companies willing to increase their margins and their performance, will only be reached if it is thought and implemented at the very beginning of the Supply Chain management. In order to respond, on an optimal way, to the market fluctuations, companies need to anticipate and to have enough freedom of movement, so as to be able to have immediate responses adapted to new requirements. To succeed, companies have to move from a logistical function to a Supply Chain one, and to implement an organisation and an infrastructure enabling them:

• To move from reactivity to pro-activity thanks to more visibility on the whole Supply Chain
• To win in productivity terms thanks to a better management of the production resources
• To develop the customers’ loyalty thanks to a better anticipation of their needs and to a better inventory sizing (while increasing service level)
• To benefit from outstanding tools of simulation and of optimisation of the Supply Chain, which eases the CEO’s decision-making
• To measure continuously their Supply Chain performances in order to improve all processes

The value really lies in that what the company makes better, more rapidly and cheaper than their competitors. A better strategic and tactical Supply Chain management will allow an optimum operational and create the expected benefits.
