Supply Chain Management & Operations
How can a wide range of very different complexity drivers be incorporated into measures to sustainably optimize the supply chain?
Supply chain management deals with coordinating – and optimizing – flows of materials, information and finance along the entire process chain from preliminary supplier through to final consumer across the entire company. Alongside designing physical and informational aspects of processes and networks, the focus of our work lies on creating the appropriate organizational structures.
Strategy, process and organization design, together with supply chain controlling and performance drivers form the main elements of our Performance Architect Model for the Supply Chain. Strict process orientation and structured integration of processes enables you to reduce complexity on the one hand and to improve your mastery of complexity along the entire supply chain on the other.
A complete analysis of – and focus on – processes at all levels in the company and along the entire length of the value chain forms the basis for measuring performance and lays the foundation for supply chain controlling.
