COMBINING EXCELLENT MANAGEMENT CONSULTING WITH CUTTING-EDGE IT CONSULTING
In an ideal situation, this approach would comprise the following: on the basis of the company’s strategic intent, we begin by analysing its end-to-end performance in order to identify potential areas of improvement – everything from sales and marketing, interfaces with R&D, production and logistics, as well as purchasing and finance, are taken into consideration. Working together with our clients, we then create a business concept which will also translate effectively into practical IT solutions. Finally, we facilitate the concept’s seamless implementation and integration into processes, organisation structures and development of organisational capability. We accompany these processes with professional Management of Change. Our intervention results in a constant process of improvement.
In reality, it often looks somewhat different. Projects often arise out of specific business problems. High costs, large stock piles, poor customer service and non-transparent processes. Typical real time project challenges include the development of procurement efficiency, the exploration of new distribution channels, or the improvement of management planning and control.
A holistic review of the entire value chain is necessary in order to increase the efficiency of the whole company. We call this flow of value and the interaction between the various departments of an industrial concern – i.e. purchasing, distribution, product development and quantity control – Lean SCM™ (Supply Chain Management). The term expresses the integrated management of an entire contemporary business network – end-to-end.
