Efficient supply chain management leads to operational excellence. Optimizing the whole chain from the customer to the sub-supplier allows service to improve significantly and at the same time reduces costs. Supply chain management achieves a high level of on-time deliveries, short throughput times and low inventories. Sales and production planning are synchronized, order processing is integrated. Thus, liable promises of delivery can be made and met. Bottlenecks are avoided. Logistics consulting by 4flow consulting attends to the complete supply chain, but also to parts of it.
The Challenge
Supply Chain Management encompasses the whole chain from the consumer to the first sub-supplier. Even if an enterprise only looks at its own clients and its immediate suppliers the situation is often quite complex:
- Planning and controlling are not standardized, liabilities do not converge in one point,
- forecast data and planning data are neither consolidated nor compared,
- planning processes and methods are not standardized but depend on the respective planner,
- various historically grown IT systems are part of the overall process,
inventory and throughput times are not transparent within the supply chain,
- the supply chain costs are unknown,
benchmarks are not consistent or do not exist.
Our Approach
