Why choose a data-driven supply chain assessment?

Over 90% of wholesale and manufacturing companies have untapped potential to decrease inventory and working capital substantially without compromising service quality. A data-driven assessment shows you how to realize the potential.

Our data-driven assessment can help you make informed decisions, enhancing organizational performance. The main objective of a supply chain assessment is to understand the shortcomings in your supply chain, the opportunities they offer, and how you can get the most out of it.

What is the primary focus of a supply chain assessment?

The primary focus points of a supply chain assessment are as follows.

• Data-Driven Forecast Assessment: Benchmark the current forecasting accuracy against the optimized forecast.
• Data-Driven Inventory Assessment (Parameters): Identify optimal safety stocks based on target service level, benchmark against existing levels, and analyze savings by category (working capital, lost sales, obsolescence OPEX).
• Data-Driven Inventory Assessment (Behavior): Validate compliance in actual planning to separate parameter optimization from behavioral impact. Identify key potential areas of planning behavior improvement.
• Future operating model: IBP operating model input and phased implementation recommendations based on maturity.
