(PRWEB) May 16, 2007 -- Supply Today has released its web based project management and consulting software tool based on lean six sigma principles.

Using project support tickets (email look-a-likes), management of dead-lines and tasks are simplified. Projects can to be managed as one-on-one or in formal groups. The application also supports our current methodologies and a provides a high quality result along with a consistent approach for our customers.

Logistics is simple; it's about getting your products to customers on time. That's all there is to it. Unfortunately, simple doesn't always mean easy. In fact, logistics is arguably the most complicated part of any product-based business.

As companies grow, costs rise and every link in the supply chain is severely tested. In order to keep customers happy and costs in check, every link must be as strong as every other.

Experienced logistics consultants help companies develop a ship-shape supply chain that will improve inventory management, reduce total operating costs and increase customer satisfaction.

This is usually done by leveraging people, processes and current technologies and good consultants deliver quantifiable results, measurable ROI and take logistics to the next level, and just as importantly help keep companies there.

"Growth is a positive development, but many companies make mistakes along the way. If Logistics and Supply Chain management are outside the businesses core competencies, this can be an even stronger challenge. Many times, decisions in these areas can determine if the supply chain ultimately makes it or unfortunately fails," said John Hogg, Managing Director.

Over the last 10 years many companies have begun to realise the inherent value in their logistics processes (http://www.supplytoday.com.au/default.html). Logistics is now seen as a key service difference for both commodity and high value products.

To meet the ever changing needs of business and acquire the expert advice that is needed a company needs a partner that can turn liabilities into assets.

So what make a good Logistics or Supply Chain Consulting company?

One of the major strengths of any Logistics Consulting company are consultants with experience, knowledge and a history of delivering superior logistics and supply chain results and who are extremely good at resolving problems. As part of the companies culture individuals need to be dedicated to raising the bar with a commitment to excellence and professionalism.

A Logistics or Supply Chain consulting company also needs to be specialising in the application of technology solutions to the supply chain so you get maximum process visibility and real time information.

As part of the service offering consultants need to be able to adapt to change without interruption within the environment and be able to trouble-shoot, negotiate, educate and listen as well as being proactive, quick to learn, energetic, humorous and honest. The companies internal training, processes and tools also need to support their staff.
