Case study
Target Australia was facing stalling revenue and steadily-growing costs, with core functions not aligned and working together across the business.
The merchandise and supply chain functions were driving significant excess stock volume to stores.
Unprofitable stores were driving cost into the supply chain, whilst inefficient distribution centre and transport operations were driving cost.
The Grant Thornton team worked with the Target Australia leadership team to instigate an end-to-end process alignment and profitability improvement program which we called FACTORY-TO-CUSTOMER.
The program was designed to streamline operations from the source of a product throughout its journey into the customer’s hands. Program workstreams included Product Sourcing, Planning, Logistics, Online, Store Operations and IT Systems.
Grant Thornton co-designed and led the program, managing the program governance and commercial benefits tracking.
The project resulted in:
