Experienced industry experts offer holistic solutions in the area of ​​supply chain management.
Founded in 2009 by experienced supply chain managers, our expertise extends from purchasing to material procurement, distribution, logistics and production. The importance of a crisis-proof and stable supply chain is becoming increasingly clear due to factors such as disruption and globalization of supply chains.
Our experts develop tailored solutions, whether through structural improvements or outsourcing parts of your supply chain, to benefit your business. For particularly complex projects, we put together well-coordinated, cross-departmental supply chain expert teams for you.
The supply chain forms the backbone of value creation, regardless of the industry. It enables the provision of marketable services to customers.
Our special range of services includes outstanding supply chain solutions for the sustainable implementation of the latest ECR/CPFR concepts, i.e. advanced instruments in the supply chain.
Sustainable corporate change with people as the key factor for change.
The uniform customer orientation in marketing (customer journey) emphasizes the growing importance of the operational management of sales and customer service in the value creation process.
The daily challenge of many companies is to provide goods and services at the right time, quantity and quality in the right place. This requires a comprehensive look at your own logistics as well as your partners in the supply chain.
IT systems now control demand orders, compliance with minimum order quantities and price management. There is no longer any room for concern that product development can only produce products whose components can be procured cheaply.
The value chain starts with the delivery of the materials, followed by incoming goods inspection by quality assurance and storage by internal logistics. The actual production of the products only begins afterwards. Intralogistics supplies the different production locations.
Optimization of networks for procurement, production and logistics.
Inventory optimization (WIC) to reduce inventories, release working capital and adapt the safety buffer to the sales situation.
Implementation of Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) or Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR).
Implementation of the necessary controlling tools to effectively manage the supply chain.
Improvement of processes, procedures and structures in purchasing and production.
Realization of concepts by experienced interim managers.
