HCI Primary Services
Supply Chain Optimization
Handling your supply chain and logistics challenges is one of the capabilities that sets HCI’s team apart from other consultants. Our experience running our own operations, as well as those of our clients, translates into increased profits and decreased headaches throughout the system.
For example, in working for Aramco (the world’s largest oil company), Henderson Chemicals (now HCI) developed and implemented systems of checks and controls that largely compensated for human error and substantially increased reliability. The resulting order return rate was below .007%, and on time deliveries were better than 95% versus the 60% industry norm.
Let HCI’s expertise work for you
in the following areas: |

Cost Cutting and Supply Chain Streamlining
- Competing in today’s global markets means streamlining your international
supply chain. HCI will analyze and streamline your supply chain to take
advantage of the powerful forces of global sourcing and the new power of
supply chain analytical tools, potentially cutting costs by 10%-25% and
increasing gross margin by 30% to 100%. Let us tell you how. At HCI, cost
cutting is not purely an academic exercise but a practical application. |

Cargo Management includes how you package, warehouse
and ship your export products, as well as generating documentation and paperwork
to track it. HCI’s logistics systems help you navigate the many available
shipping options to maximize timely deliveries and minimize theft, loss
and breakage. |
| |
Minimizing Tariff Barriers is often the difference between
profit and loss in exporting. HCI finds the best points of entry and the
most effective ways to ship and document a product to maximize your profits. |
| |
International Documentation can be an expensive nuisance
for clients not familiar with exporting. Our Export Launch Program includes
all the necessary marketing, legal and operational documents needed for
your venture. Our clients routinely realize a considerable savings in legal
fees by using HCI’s documentation. |
| |
Simplification - HCI will create and simplify all the
up-to-date shipping and logistics documentation required, in hard copy forms
and in PC or Mac format. We systematically eliminate potential problem sources,
then create simplified shipping checklists and procedures for your internal
use. |
|
|
Crisis and Risk Management - HCI is always on call to
help you deal with theft, disturbances, storms and other logistics and operational
problems including Y2K compliance problems should they occur. |
HCI developed one of the first "straight-through" logistics systems in Mexico, saving clients both significant costs and transit time, and virtually eliminating theft and handling damage. We’ve helped many customers reduce costs and overhead without affecting performance. Let HCI apply this same level of initiative and problem solving ability to your export challenges.
