Transformation of Global Business Networks into Supply Chain!

On the basis of the international standard, the Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR), process instructions can be developed to create a comprehensive Supply Chain – from the purchase of raw materials to after-sales management. Reference processes offer a good starting point to highlight internal implementation and optimisation possibilities. From our comprehensive process know-how we strive to emphasise synergies in the company activities on a strategic level with the creation of the supply chain.

We see the creation of a Supply Chain as a closed circuit. We begin with the strategic planning for resource allocation and process creation which leads to organisational and technical realisation. Continuous control completes the loop. This comprehensive consideration is the basis for us to optimise supply chains sustainably.


Transformation of Business Networks into Supply Chains
The strategic design of the entire supply chain focuses on firstly defining the basic conditions: the target objectives, the design of quality guidelines for controlling, and evaluation structures. With a comprehensive methodical knowledge we provide an optimal definition of the supply chain.

Introduction of the SCOR Model
The SCOR model contains numerous best practices for the design, representation, and improvement of the processes of the value added chain. We use this SCOR model as a standardised view and process guideline and we learn from its best practices. On this basis the individual processes are derived and defined. This approach provides an efficient implementation and ensures the highest quality standards are delivered.


Harmonisation of interfaces along the value added chain
In the areas of process or IT management interfaces represent critical points in supply chain management which can lead to high losses in efficiency. On the one hand, it is an organisational challenge to create clear definitions and assign responsibilities. Good interface management is essential for integrity and efficiency and therefore is the basis for integrated internal and company-wide control.


Implementation of Quality Management Projects
Whether its Six Sigma, EFQM, or an ISO certification: The basic requirements are clearly defined processes which are involved in the control loop system for quality management. We provide full support from the design and documentation of the processes to continuous supervision. On this basis we ensure that sustainable quality management is firmly anchored in the organisation.


Standardisation of Change, Approval, &  Publication Processes of the Supply Chain
With the introduction of process and quality management, all change, approval, and publication processes have to be adjusted to suit the roles and authority structures of the organisation. Despite the increased requirements for standardisation, our target is to focus on the efficiency of the business and to improve the reaction time to any changes in the market.


Supply Chain Risk Management

The increasing globalisation of supply chains has had the effect of reducing stock requirements while leading to an increased vulnerability of supply chains. Therefore there is a need to expand the internal risk management to include Supply Chain Risk Management. Our approach helps to structure, identify, evaluate, and document risks across the entire value added chain. Control activities can be defined and emergency measures in case of damage are identified.
