Organizing End-2-End & adding sustainable value

From “acting in the interests of the department” to “End-2-End process thinking with one common goal”.

Integrated management of the flow of goods, information and money is essential to realize sustainable value add for the company. Assortments change faster and faster and uncertainties and risks in the supply chain are constantly shifting. By organizing collaboration across business functions, from procurement, production to sales, from source to deliver, costs can be reduced and results improved.

With our ARV team, we support optimizing the supply chain design and processes. This varies from determining the right supply chain strategy and segmentation, optimized footprint and network design to setting up S&OP structures, business processes and ICT tools. While maintaining focus on the necessary behavioral change of the people behind these processes.

Customer questions

  • The costs of supply to our customers are increasing, while our sales prices are under increasing pressure. How do we ensure that 'the front and back' of our company remain aligned?"

  • Our stock has increased, while we keep missing our service targets and we are overloaded with exceptions. We don't seem to know what our customers want. Can ARV help us regain traction?”

  • We have to constantly intervene in our planning due to new priorities and materials that are not delivered on time. How do we regain control and stability in our planning?

With the help of ARV Group, our schedules have regained stability and predictability. The stocklevels are structurally down and the service level issues has decreased at the same time. It was crucial that the different departments found each other again with shared goals and priorities.
