ICG offers a flexible approach to supply chain design that supports customizable data categories and analytic reporting without requiring extensive MRP capacity in the supply base:

• Identify best-in-class suppliers with best-in-class technologies, capabilities and structures
• Match supplier to component
• Remove suppliers resulting from “historical accident”
• Define chain capacity to respond to any key driver
• Define critical paths for cost, time, materials, and function
• Transfer technology “into the supply base”
• Preempt threats
• Define merger/joint venture candidates
• Identify hidden costs
