Practice Areas

Covering the Extended Supply Chain

Today’s supply “chain” resembles more of a complex “web” of interdependent relationships and functions rather than a collection of independent silos of activity. For this reason, Collinear Alliance members subscribe to the philosophy of viewing our client’s supply chain in a holistic manner, enabling us to better add intrinsic value to their bottom lines and increase the value proposition of our services to these businesses.

Practice areas offered by Collinear members are aligned with the SCORTM Model, emphasizing all key areas of the supply chain including the Plan, Source, Make, Deliver and Return functions. A representative list of our more popular areas of engagement would include the following:
