BIC Helps Vi-Jon Optimize its Supply Chain Strategy

Boston Industrial Consulting, Inc. was recently hired to perform a Supply Chain analysis to assist Vi-Jon, Inc. in the development of a Finished Goods Supply Chain Strategy.

Vi-Jon’s Manufacturing Plants and Distribution Centers, located in Missouri and Tennessee, produce Private Label Health and Beauty products. Goods are manufactured, palletized and transported to Distribution Centers in close proximity to plants.

BIC evaluated existing baseline operational needs against several logistics options to determine the most efficient strategic plan for Vi-Jon’s Supply Chain. This process included:

• Developed data requirements for analyzing the Finished Goods Supply Chain Strategy

• Reviewed the cost structures for baseline options for transportation, along with proposed consolidation options with the goal of improving customer services overall

• Evaluated benefits of consolidation and performed analysis to quantify efficiency opportunities

• Quantified supply chain options in greater detail, providing a more accurate understanding of Logistics and Finished Goods Warehouses

BIC continues to work with Vi-Jon, Inc. to perform an overall needs assessment of Distribution space over the next 1-5 years. Once fully understood, a detailed Supply Chain strategy will be developed for distribution facilities to closely match needs versus available space.

BIC continues to help companies such as Vi-Jon, Inc., Amscan / Party City and Caterpillar dealerships realize their maximum potential in customer service relations.
