The way we work
We commence most projects with an assessment of an organisation’s existing supply chain performance and identify potential deficiencies, inefficiencies, problem points or under-realised opportunities. Our work always has a financial orientation to quantify the cost/benefit of proceeding to either “Quick Wins” or “Sustainable Improvement Programmes”.
We then manage the project through its stages; from conceptual design through to new process rollout, organisational restructuring, hardware and software procurement, integration with existing technologies, intensive training and post project coaching.
But what really sets us apart is our focus on the financial outcomes.
We always ensure that open communication channels are established from the word ‘go’ so that internal staff, customers and suppliers are kept ‘in the loop’ for the lifespan of the project.
A powerful ‘R.O.L.E Model™’
Information Systems improvement includes finding, identifying and implementing the right technological solutions, but we can expedite that aspect using R.O.L.E Model™. R.O.L.E Model™’ is Right On Line’s proprietary project management software tool. ‘R.O.L.E Model™’ provides in-depth technology profiles and supply chain research to help companies shortlist those potential software candidates that demonstrate the best fit - according to capability, budget and any other unique evaluation criteria.
Our mandate involves evaluating and implementing e-commerce solutions.
One of Right On Line’s areas of specialty is in helping those companies who have ongoing problems with excessive stock holding.
Inventory reduction and improved service levels
“Right On Line can show how to achieve more with less”.
Inventory Reduction is really all about optimising a company’s inventory levels.
Optimising inventory levels typically leads to reduced working capital, decreased inventory holding costs, but also fewer lost sales and improved customer service.
Right On Line has developed comprehensive Inventory Reduction Programmes, featuring tools of varying sophistication to meet the needs of large multi-nationals through to small / medium enterprise.
Based around a unique suite of forecasting, distribution, sourcing and inventory management models, our programmes offer greater accuracy, flexibility and predictive ability than anything else on the market - anywhere.
These tools enable us to factor in variables such as:
- Budget constraints
- Trends and seasonal variants (climate etc)
- Forecasting accuracy
- Events (promotions, public holidays etc)
- Casuals (price changes, plant breakdowns etc)
- Varying service level targets
- Supplier constraints
The end result is that we can then confidently recommend a suggested stock level for each individual product line, along with:
- Recommended reorder frequencies
- Highlighting of problem products and/or locations
- Identification of excess stock by product, prioritised for attention
- Definition of inventory, profit and customer service targets
And end up with ‘JustEnough’
Right On Line uses leading-edge forecasting and inventory optimisation software, ‘JustEnough’.
The JustEnough platform forms a key component in Right On Line's toolset when analysing and optimising your stocking and replenishment policies as part of an Inventory Reduction/Optimisation Programme.
At your discretion, we can either integrate JustEnough into one of our tailored Inventory Reduction/Optimisation Programmes or refer you to enter into a direct licensing agreement with JustEnough Software Corporation.
