Supply Chain Consulting

Problem: Suboptimal material flow, lack of transparency, and outdated structures in manufacturing and logistics?

Solution: Creating a resilient, efficient, and transparent supply chain by optimizing internal processes, utilizing digital tools and monitoring methods, and implementing proactive supplier management

Problem: Customers are demanding and expecting ever-shorter delivery times and, in extreme cases, want to receive goods and services in less than 24 hours. The market is highly volatile and subject to frequent changes. These changes are further exacerbated by societal and political transformations—such as Brexit and the COVID-19 crisis—and result in existing production and logistics networks no longer meeting current requirements.

Solution: Realigning the footprint design is a complex, strategic task. We systematically review your existing production and distribution network, drawing on over three decades of international experience.

Problem: Poor on-time delivery rates and frequent discussions between sales, production, and logistics regarding the cause and responsibility.

Solution: Working together with your team, we’ll establish an effective sales and operations planning process, thereby improving cross-departmental collaboration, forecasting, and transparency. This will help us increase on-time delivery rates, stabilize your production, and enhance the resilience of your supply chain.

Problem: Has your vertical integration grown over time, and are you facing cost pressures? Has short-term outsourcing shown you that suppliers can offer your parts at lower prices? Are you considering sourcing new products?

Solution: Through a systematic make-or-buy analysis, we define your strategic approach to in-house production and external sourcing. To do this, we conduct a capabilities analysis and structure your portfolio based on various criteria.
