An international automotive supplier was facing a challenging operational situation. The supply chain was not sufficiently stable, critical materials were in short supply, delivery deadlines were at risk, and the operational interfaces between planning, scheduling, logistics, production, procurement, and supplier management were not consistently synchronized. <\/p>

The goal of the engagement was to stabilize the entire operational value chain, with a direct impact on customer deliveries, production supply, delivery performance, and financial stability. The focus was on operations: clear priorities, transparent bottleneck management, robust planning and escalation procedures, improved production supply, inventory control, and measurable improvements in delivery capability. <\/p>

Purchasing and supplier management were important factors, but they were not the primary focus. The focus was on the company\u2019s operational performance: from demand and production planning, through material availability, the pull principle, internal logistics, and supplier management, to the on-time supply of production and delivery to customers. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
