Supply Chain Consulting – Holistic solutions for high-performance supply chains

Global markets, volatile demand, rising costs and increasing competitive pressure pose enormous challenges for manufacturing companies. Today, an efficient supply chain is no longer an operational detail – it is a strategic success factor. Supply chain management therefore plays a decisive role in the success of your company.

With our supply chain consulting, we support you in making your supply chains more efficient, flexible and resilient – from the pioneering strategy to the efficient design of the network and the optimization of overarching planning and control processes.

Excellent supply chain management for sustainable competitive advantages

Supply chain consulting encompasses strategic and operational consulting along the entire value chain – from suppliers to production and distribution to the end customer. In contrast to traditional logistics consulting, we take an integrated and cross-functional view of the end-to-end supply chain. The aim is to systematically improve costs, service levels, inventories, throughput times and resilience.

With our supply chain management consulting, we offer solutions with sustainable added value for current challenges such as

Complex international networks
High inventories combined with fluctuating demand
Lack of transparency in planning and control
Digitization deficits

Strategy

As a supply chain consultancy, we develop the roadmap for the effective and targeted design of your supply chain.

Supply Chain Management Strategie

The supply chain strategy describes specific design approaches for all current and future challenges in your value creation network. It is the foundation for successful and sustainable supply chain management.

Global Footprint

Globally active companies are constantly exposed to new requirements and risks. They must constantly defend and secure their market position. It is therefore important to constantly scrutinize your international value creation network.

Komplexitätsmanagement

The aim is to create a balance between controlled diversity and complexity reduction. With our supply chain consulting, we support you in identifying the drivers of variation in your portfolio and defining the degree and form of complexity required for your success.

Processes & Organization in Supply Chain Management

We design processes and systems to make your supply chain more powerful, efficient and resilient.

Sales and Operations Planning

With Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), you can synchronize sales, production and procurement. Highly integrated business processes and intelligent planning systems allow you to profitably increase your capacity utilization, delivery capability and customer satisfaction.

Kreislaufwirtschaft

The circular economy offers two major economic incentives: higher contribution margins per product and continuous revenue streams over the entire service life. If implemented correctly, the circular economy can therefore become a driver of success for your company.

Technology & structures

We establish modern technologies and develop tailor-made structures in your supply chain.

Network Design

From procurement through all production stages to distribution: with Network Design, you can set up your value creation network efficiently and resiliently. You also optimize your delivery capability and service level and reduce your_{carbon footprint}.

Supply Chain Control Tower

The supply chains of industrial companies are intricate and global. A supply chain control tower offers all the options you need to monitor and successfully control industrial supply chains in real time.

Standortplanung und Produktionsverlagerung

Structured planning and efficient processes for the successful establishment of new production sites – we support you from site selection to commissioning.

Network Design Network logistics

With Supply Chain Design, an integrated network was developed for the reverse logistics of large load carriers, in which transportation, storage and handling are carried out cooperatively.

Network optimization in distribution

To increase efficiency and reduce costs in the supply chain, the existing network structure was analyzed and an optimization and simulation model was created with AnyLogistix.

Was ist Supply Chain Management?

Supply chain management (SCM) refers to the holistic planning, control and optimization of all material, information and financial flows along the entire value chain – from raw material suppliers to production and distribution through to the end customer.

The aim of supply chain management is to organize the entire supply chain in such a way that:

Products at the right time

in the right quantity

in the right place

in the desired quality

at minimum total cost

are available.

Was sind Ziele des Supply Chain Managements?

Professional supply chain management pursues the following objectives in particular:

Cost optimization (inventories, transport, production costs)

Increase in service level

Transparency across all stages of the value chain

Risk minimization and resilience

Sustainability and ESG compliance

Companies that manage their supply chain strategically achieve measurable competitive advantages through higher delivery capability, lower capital commitment and improved planning.

Welche Herausforderungen entstehen durch komplexe internationale Lieferketten?

International supply chains increase complexity in the areas of transportation, customs, supplier management, production control and risk management. Different locations, long lead times and global dependencies make planning and control more difficult.

As a supply chain consultancy, we support industrial companies in strategically designing global networks, reducing complexity and developing efficient structures. The aim is to optimize costs, create transparency and at the same time increase flexibility in global competition.

Wie können Unternehmen ihre Lieferkette widerstandsfähiger gegen globale Krisen gestalten?

Global supply chains are increasingly susceptible to geopolitical risks, supplier failures, transportation bottlenecks and volatile demand. To increase resilience, companies are turning to measures such as dual sourcing, network optimization, inventory strategies, supplier transparency and digital monitoring systems.

As part of our supply chain consulting, risks are systematically analyzed, scenarios simulated and structural adjustments developed. Supply chain management consulting helps to strategically integrate resilience into processes, planning and management – instead of just reacting to disruptions.
