Monks and Crane's Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM) Solutions, re-define Business Processes associated with Procurement, Logistics & Administration within an organisation to create greater operational efficiencies. These solutions are designed to enable our Customers to focus on the core competencies within their business.

Companies having a fragmented indirect materials purchasing policy have inherent problems in relation to how they buy, what they buy and who is actually buying. This can result in duplication of articles, overstocking, redundant processes and the over complication of the supply chain leading to a lack of Company focus on their core competencies.

Without the proper control of non-production and MRO materials purchasing, the organisation has no effective leverage with its supply base to optimise buying prices and this situation inevitably leads to an increase in the number of suppliers. Most organisations also lack the necessary information to attack and lower the total acquisition costs of non-production and MRO items, including stocking, distribution and handling. Also, information on spend by supplier, commodity, budget holder, operative is rarely available.

Dedicated and operationally biased individuals, skilled in all aspects of Logistics, Purchasing, Product and Inventory Control, in conjunction with comprehensive Business Process Systems and Management Information System Solutions, create the backbone of the company and help to promote Monks and Crane's effectiveness in the marketplace. The outcome being Customers are free to focus solely on their key core competencies, comforted in the knowledge of the support and reliability of Monks and Crane to manage the "back office" activities.
