At DataSource we believe that one of the most important steps when working with a client is the assessment and planning stage. This is one of the first steps where we establish a benchmark so that we can set realistic targets and goals. We analyze your business processes and procedures to understand your current business environment in order to provide recommendations that are specific with target and cost savings objectives. We have worked with many clients throughout the years and we have found a set of questions that are really key to this portion of the assessment. They will help tailor the recommendations we offer. Below are the top 10 assessment questions that we have found most useful:
What current processes does your company have in place? What processes are actually used?- What are each processes used for? And who is involved with each process?
- When is the last time you evaluated your processes?
- Who keeps the processes updated?
- What are the top 5 issues you are currently facing?
- What is good about your current process?
- What are 3 specific goals you would like to attain?
- When do you want everything set up by?
- How do you currently measure your productivity?
- Are your current processes aligned with your overall business strategy?
There are a ton of other questions and evaluations that we preform. But these questions are a great place to start the process and get an introduction into the company that you are going to be working with. Data Source conducts a complete supply chain analysis so that we can maximize your cost reduction potential. Industry-specific assessments can be conducted for the commercial, restaurant/hospitality, and automotive industries.
