FMCG

Why is it important?

FMCG customers are demanding higher quality goods, shorter reaction times at lower prices. Being flexible to absorb the shifts in demand at a constant quality, unit cost and lead time, help companies stay ahead of their competitors. Supply Chain Readiness, Operational Excellence and New Product Introduction are more critical than ever for FMCG.
