Capgemini Invent : driving efficiency in McLaren ’ s supply chain
In today ’ s volatile climate , Capgemini Invent & McLaren are on a three year path to building a strong and sustainable supply chain to support McLaren ’ s expansive future .
Capgemini Invent enables CxOs to envision and shape the future of their businesses . It is working all over the world to enable its clients to unleash human energy through technology for a more inclusive and sustainable future .
“ We partner with our clients to unlock the value of technology and help them transform their businesses , and support management and stable growth ,” says Phil Davies , Capgemini Invent ’ s Head of Intelligent Industry in the UK .
Davies distils this process into three key stages :
• Using technology to advance the consumer experience
• Accelerating intelligent industry
• Transforming client enterprise efficiencies
Capgemini Invent recently began working with British supercar giant McLaren on
its logistic operations , looking at how it can combine technology , people and processes to drive resilience and sustainability into those operations .
“ The world today is much more volatile ; supply chains are constantly disrupted ,” adds Davies . “ We are working with McLaren to implement a strategy to cope and live with that disruption .”
The three main elements of the relationship are :
• Driving efficiency into McLaren ’ s supply chain
• Supporting McLaren with the transformation of its logistics operation
• Providing a three-year vision
“ The three-year vision is really focused on how to create a logistics operation that ’ s going to thrive in this volatile future ,” explains Davies . “ Propelling them to unleash the potential of their organisation .
“ The aim is to allow them to continue their relentless focus on customer experience and quality whilst building that resilience and visibility they need to cope in today ’ s volatile world .”
Ashley Naughton , Logistics Director at McLaren , adds : “ Capgemini has been an instrumental partner for us . They ’ ve brought in thought leadership and shared the best industry practices , not only with automotive clients but also other industry sectors , which allows us to learn how other sectors are approaching different problems .”
“ I think both McLaren and Capgemini are organisations that really focus on outcomes ,” concludes Davies . “ So , whilst we ’ re in the early stages of building the vision , I would say ‘ watch this space ’ around the next 18 months .”
