As ALOER is also a soft&shy;ware solu&shy;tions inte&shy;gra&shy;tor, the con&shy;sul&shy;tants&rsquo; skills could con&shy;tribute to the automa&shy;tion of the tools. ALOER is now in pos&shy;ses&shy;sion of a design tool, poten&shy;tial&shy;ly automat&shy;able in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jean-Beno&icirc;t Sar&shy;razin<\/strong>: The method tools built by Fan&shy;tin are an excel&shy;lent start&shy;ing point to ease the Sup&shy;ply Chain audits real&shy;i&shy;sa&shy;tion.

Pro&shy;pos&shy;als to clients are real&shy;is&shy;tic, hon&shy;est, and fit their needs. This integri&shy;ty is one of the com&shy;pa&shy;ny val&shy;ues. As the rec&shy;om&shy;men&shy;da&shy;tions made are per&shy;ti&shy;nent, the audit mis&shy;sion is usu&shy;al&shy;ly fol&shy;lowed by a sup&shy;port over time to accom&shy;pa&shy;ny them. This allows any client to have a fre&shy;quent sup&shy;port to improve its sup&shy;ply chain performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Con&shy;sul&shy;tants, super&shy;vised by a ded&shy;i&shy;cat&shy;ed project man&shy;ag&shy;er, are very reac&shy;tive to answer the client&rsquo;s needs, a char&shy;ac&shy;ter&shy;is&shy;tic that proved use&shy;ful and sup&shy;port the growth of the busi&shy;ness.

This helped us build&shy;ing togeth&shy;er a frame of ref&shy;er&shy;ences adapt&shy;ed to the needs of today&rsquo;s Sup&shy;ply Chain Man&shy;agers: rapid&shy;i&shy;ty, effi&shy;ca&shy;cy, easy com&shy;pre&shy;hen&shy;sion to share quick&shy;ly the audit results with graphs, short syn&shy;the&shy;sis asso&shy;ci&shy;at&shy;ed with sim&shy;ple action plans.
