SCM optimisation in the consumer goods industry
Only the supply chain performance of a company realises success in the marketplace
The supply chain has gained in importance in recent years. Today, besides the actual products, it is decisive for the success of the company.
Even though it was recognised as early as the 1980s that the individual functional areas of logistics, procurement and production planning are closely interconnected, it was only the consistent alignment of operational processes with the needs of the market and the integration of the financial view that formed the true supply chain management.
The supply chain is the backbone of your company’s value creation, regardless of whether it is in the manufacturing industry or the service sector.
It is the supply chain that makes marketable services accessible to customers. The focus of value creation has increasingly expanded from the core performance of the actual product to the accompanying services and the effort required for selection and procurement. Thus, the performance of one’s own supply chain is a decisive competitive factor.
For many companies, global markets and more differentiated sales channels have also drastically increased the number of supply chains to which their own organisation belongs.
The management task of designing, building and operating this supply chain effectively and economically is correspondingly multifaceted, sometimes complex and correspondingly demanding. At the same time, it must also be adapted to the changing requirements of the market and available production technologies as quickly as possible.
