Our supply chain consulting services

With the help of our Supply Chain Performance Check, we can quickly tell you where you stand and identify optimization potential based on industry-specific benchmarks. We pay particular attention to analyzing the current maturity level and look at the individual sections of your supply chain in detail using individually defined KPIs.

With the help of established methods such as value stream mapping, we visualize your processes along the entire supply chain. On this basis, we derive optimization measures – from increasing efficiency in procurement, to reducing inefficiencies in the warehouse, to optimizing your lead times.

We create transparency about inventories and define delivery service levels in order to reduce superfluous inventories. This enables you to reduce capital commitment and achieve higher liquidity and creditworthiness. In addition, we optimize payment throughput and operational processes to sustainably improve your financing leeway and payment flows.
