Supply Chain Analysis
Strategic Analysis
Conducting comprehensive evaluations of your existing supply chain and its alignment with your overall business strategy, to ensure it supports your company's long-term goals. This usually includes aspects like SC Network Optimisation, Sourcing Strategy, Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Production Planning approaches, and SC Resilience.
Value Stream Mapping
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) can help organizations significantly enhance overall process effectiveness. It is designed to identify and eliminate inefficiencies, and to reduce lead times and operational costs. Depending on the complexity of an operation, it can be done in more or less detail. One can also assess the entire end-to-end value chain, or zoom in on a specific challenging area.
SC Cost Analysis
When improving profitability is the main objective, Cost Analysis focuses on evaluating various cost components associated with the entire supply chain, from procurement to distribution, in order to identify cost drivers and saving opportunities. It usually includes Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Cost-to-Serve Analysis, and Activity-Based Costing (ABC).
SC Due Diligence
Already in place in Germany, the Supply Chain Due Diligence Directive (SCDDD, or LkSG in German) is also hotly debated for introduction on an EU level. But it's not just for legal or moral reasons that performing proper Due Diligence on your upstream supply chain is important: it is also critical for timely mitigation of your supply risks.

Cross-functional Planning
Upgrade your planning processes: integrate cross-functional processes (S&OP 2.0, IBP, …) to gain efficiency and accuracy in demand and supply planning, and have the right decisions taken at the right time, based on the right input – including commercial insights. Not reliant on corridor-communication, these processes are equally robust in a work-from-home setting.
Demand Forecasting

integrating AI – if and where useful.
Inventory Management
Implementing efficient inventory management techniques, such as produce-to-demand (PtD), just-in-time (JIT), buffer classification, statistical economic buffer/order quantity (EBQ/EOQ) models, and approaches like Vendor Managed/Owned Inventory (VMI/VOI) to minimize carrying costs while ensuring adequate stock availability.
