We will help define the strategy that will govern the supply chain merger / acquisition and to do that we help you answer questions such as:

• Does the supply chain have the ability to absorb a new company? If not how do we provide the capability?

• Which supply chain takes the lead role?

• If no supply chain takes the overall lead role how do we select which areas within the 2 (or more) supply chains takes the lead?

• What are the people and organisational constraints and opportunities?

• What are the business targets of the merger / acquisition and how does the supply chain activity support these targets?

• What are the process constraints and opportunities?

• What are the IT constraints and opportunities?
