Supply Chain Services for Procurement and Production

Quality at the agreed price.

As a buyer, project manager and decision-maker in procurement, one of your core tasks is to select the right suppliers of materials and equipment. At the same time, you need to ensure on time and on spec delivery to avoid delays and financial losses.

We support you with finding and qualifying the right suppliers. We can assess and develop existing suppliers. All of this to ensure a smooth project flow, so that the components are produced correctly and delivered on time and on quality - at the agreed price.

Key challenges within the procurement and production phase:

Ensuring quality
Reducing complexity
Complying with standards

Different production conditions can create the need to optimize the quality aspects within a supply chain. Ensuring quality and delivery reliability can become a key issue, especially for cost-oriented subcontractors.

Globalization and the multi-level supplier landscape are making procurement processes more complex and, at times, less transparent. Within this structure, the purchasing department is tasked with keeping track of suppliers, schedules, and products. There may be delays that cause longer lead times and even production downtimes.

Manufacturers and suppliers are required to comply with customer specifications and standards. Therefore, documentation about the conformity of the components is of particular importance.
