Too many companies have focused their supply chain solely on the factor of costs for far too long. This point of view fully ignores that competition is no longer between individual companies, but has long since been played out between complex networks. The current multicrisis has now ruthlessly exposed the failures. In the new white paper “Supply Chain Network Management – Strengthening Robustness, Resilience and Responsiveness”, the Staufen business consulting firm explains how to successfully reconfigure the value network and thereby ensure that companies remain competitive in the long term.
RETURNING TO A COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE LEVEL
“Today, companies have to ask themselves whether the current crises are the cause of delays, failures, and rising costs, or whether they are instead uncovering past failures because they focused too much on the issue of costs,” says Thomas Spiess, member of the management board of Staufen.Inova AG. So, returning to a competitive performance level automatically causes the supply chain network to be reconfigured. Not only does this include the analysis from the operating model to network design, plus areas Data & Digitalization as well and Planning & Control, but also the implementation of a risk management. “Unless risk management is embedded throughout the organization, companies are vulnerable to future threats to their value network,” explains Spiess.
