The performance and resilience of your supply chain are key pillars of your company's success. A detailed assessment of the initial situation is followed by the measures required to set up your supply chain management solution in the context of your target structure.

Operations Excellence - Supply Chain Management

Supply chain strategy and network optimization

Your decision-making authority for all relevant value creation steps from order acceptance to delivery of your product is based on a coherent supply chain strategy in combination with a functioning supply chain network. We create a process flow diagram analogous to your value chain and add the necessary structures and partners.

Supply chain management structure and process organization

Based on the defined supply chain strategy, we analyze the existing organizational and operational structure. Necessary adjustments and additions for a successful and accepted application are visualized via a target structure, while those affected are involved in a practice-oriented dialogue.

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)

The core of a balanced S&OP process is the software you use and your planning methodology. With the aim of harmonizing flexibility and adherence to deadlines in accordance with your rolling sales planning, taking into account the requirements of sales, project, production and procurement management, we analyze the quality of use, parameterize target values and clarify possible automation options with you.

Optimized production planning & Control system

We compare your operational production planning with a target process, taking into account the tools and methods used and the supply chain strategy. The result defines the measures to fulfill the strategic corporate goals.

Optimization of procurement organization

In the first step, we evaluate the potential of purchasing together with your purchasing department using our potential analysis:
Purchasing strategies, organization, processes, category management, supplier management and IT systems. The result of the potential analysis is concrete recommendations for action to improve the performance of your purchasing department. Together, we draw up a specific catalog of measures based on the recommendations for action and support the implementation of the measures with our expertise.

Logistics optimization

Key competitive success factors are based, among other things, on a future-oriented overall logistics strategy. The company-specific design of your internal and external logistics processes as well as the necessary system landscape are crucial to guaranteeing efficiency, flexibility and security of supply.

SCM PLUS logistics consulting stands for your tailor-made concept in matters of procurement, warehousing, production and distribution logistics. Our expertise extends along the entire value chain. We also offer solutions for innovative demands on existing structures as well as for additions and/or new buildings.

Inventory management

Particularly in times of volatile markets and increasingly complex value chains, a needs-based commitment of funds for necessary inventories forms the basis for securing your success. With the individuality of an inventory management system tailored to your company, delivery capability and flexibility are in harmony with reduced inventory risks.

 

Supply chain management key figures - controlling

Proactive management of your supply chain requires the right key figures. In coordination with your relevant specialist departments, we create the ideal KPI structure for your supply chain management from your system landscape, including the automated generation of KPIs.

IT system landscape

Real-time transparency and proactive control as a key success factor for your supply chain can be achieved using appropriate software solutions. We check the existing system and provide possible recommendations for action as well as optional applications as a supplementary structure.
