SUPPLY CHAIN & OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Companies are facing shorter and shorter product life cycles, more complex and unreliable supply chains, and increasingly strict legal framework conditions. We help our customers make their supply chains dynamic, sustainable, agile, and scalable. Our ultra-precise, ongoing monitoring of supply chains is helpful here, and gives you the ability to respond very quickly to potential disruptions. It allows you to make your supply chain efficient and flexible, thereby ensuring a continuous flow of goods.
To accomplish this, we integrate agile structures and processes into your organization. This makes you much more agile across all functions throughout the organization and the company. SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY
In order to maintain and/or improve the reliability of supply chains, you need a detailed understanding of the opportunities and risks. We analyze your supply chain from many different perspectives in order to give you a holistic and systematic analysis. Our analysis considers the precision of demand and inventory forecasts, the influences on manufacturing, the storage and transport of materials and goods, the likelihood of economic and political influences, and the social maturity level of the supply chain.
This gives you a comprehensive overview of the opportunities in your supply chains and the necessary areas of activity, so that you can maintain your delivery capacity. We help you implement these areas of activity, giving you a significant advantage over your competitors. SUPPLY CHAIN & OPERATIONS NETWORK-PLANNING & OPTIMIZATION
We help you define and adapt your supply chain strategy. This gives you the basis for a consistent, shared alignment of all the functions in your supply chain – from customer to upstream supplier. And it is precisely this cross-functional, organization-wide and company-wide supply chain setting that makes a clearly defined supply chain strategy so necessary and valuable. Based on your supply chain strategy, we evaluate your sales markets, evaluate and optimize your production and logistics networks, and manage your supplier portfolio. This gives you real competitive advantages in constantly evolving markets.
A consistent supply chain strategy requires a clear corporate strategy, as well as a vision and mission that are fully implemented within your company. This provides the basis for coherent, structured alignment of all of the employees in your company and beyond.
We review your supply chain strategies in terms of how well they fit with your corporate strategy and we derive adaptation potentials. You will need these potentials in order to tailor your supply chain to your customers. Supply Continuity & Risk Assessment
The risk of a disruption in your supply chain network increases disproportionately with the globalization of your supply chains. We help you to integrate an active supply chain and operation network management process. We use this process to determine economic and preventative optimization potentials for you. By leveraging economic potentials, we can help you reduce costs or throughput times, for instance. By identifying the possible causes of supply interruptions and eliminating or mitigating them, we make your supply chain much more robust. This helps improve your goods availability on the market. Green Supply Chain
A major focus of our risk assessment for end-to-end supply chains is their ecological sustainability. We help our customers design supply-chain solutions to protect our natural resources. A wide variety of perspectives come into play here. In addition to focusing on approaches to improve the use of resources, we also focus on preventing their overuse. We use levers from the fields of product development, procurement, production, logistics and SHE.
Operational excellence Transformation & Change
Increasing efficiency and effectiveness – and reducing costs – is becoming increasingly important in an age of growing cost pressure and rising earnings expectations. We offer you a broad palette of ways to reduce your costs. Our approaches are particularly distinguished by a deep integration of all the organizational participants. In the process, we consider your internal and external potentials. Administrative areas in particular offer great hidden potential for cost reductions. This gives you streamlined, agile and dynamic processes that are ready for the future. Administrative excellence
Organisation & culture
CIP
While service performance in value-adding areas is very easy to measure and thus easy to control, administrative processes and organizational areas are often many developmental steps behind. Our performance and structural analyses reveal your hidden potentials for every organizational unit we investigate. This creates the basis for defining and implementing process and organizational adaptations in a measured, targeted way. Your capacity and qualification requirements will become transparent down to the smallest detail. From recruiting to staff transfers and training, you will always be able to make the right decisions to make your organization more efficient.
What is special about this is that your employees can significantly shape and support the decision-making basis as well as helping you define improvement potentials. This makes it radically easier to implement the optimizations and increases your likelihood of success.
Your organization and your processes are complementary and intrinsically linked facets of your company. How people collaborate is an important part of managing your interfaces. A precise, frictionless organization that is designed for your corporate purpose will create significant competitive advantages for your company.
We use our organizational approaches to define precise, measurable qualification profiles for your organizational roles, which gives you a transparent target structure. This target structure is characterized by modern organizational principles that allow your employees to take on relevant cross-functional responsibilities.
Based on these qualification profiles, we help you determine personnel development needs for your role holders. You will receive clear, measurable decision-making materials for further developing your employees and/or staffing new positions. This benefits you, as the process is transparent for every employee. This makes your decisions clear and understandable, even if they may be unpopular sometimes. The continuous improvement process is a cultural element that should be anchored in every company. Employers and managers must expect every employee to strive for effectiveness and efficiency.
We use our CIP Maturity Assessment to evaluate the maturity of your organization and then close any gaps that are determined, using tailored solutions. These can range from building employee qualifications through Lean and Six Sigma Green/Black Belt training to personalized and solution-oriented CIP coaching. We provide you with the right transformation and change strategy for your change project. Our change management portfolio includes precise communication models that allow you to reliably reach all of your employees. We give your managers extensive support for dealing with changes. We manage and execute the transformation for you, ensuring that all of the people participating in the transformation stay informed and involved.
We provide coaches to answer your employees’ individual questions. This means personalized support for your employees.
We also offer qualification programs tailored to your specific needs so that employees and managers are provided with the technical and personal tools they need to successfully complete the transformation.
