Many efficiency-enhancement programmes fail due to unclear data, an accumulation of responsibilities or a lack of acceptance within the business units. KPMG therefore adopts an approach that closely interlinks analysis, the target vision and implementation. This results in measures that are not only convincing from a performance perspective but are also sustainable in day-to-day operations.
How can lead times along the value chain be reduced? How can future procurement processes, for example, be digitised using a platform-based approach? What value can holistic contract management deliver? How can costs and performance in manufacturing be optimised? How can supply chains be planned and organised to be efficient and resilient? How can processes in research and development be optimised operationally and made fit for the future? Our integrated Solution Line Operations answers these and other questions. It optimises the value chain with the following services:
- Creating transparency within the value chain and identifying opportunities for value enhancement?
- Optimising the procurement organisation, realising savings and strategic alignment
- Selection, design and implementation of digital platforms, including in the areas of contract management, procurement and the supply chain
- Transforming the supply chain through, amongst other things, supply chain strategy, supply chain network optimisation, inventory management and forecasting, or transport management
- Optimising research and development processes through data and performance analyses, AI assessments, PMT Excellence/requirements management or grant management
- Production process optimisation with an impact on profit, cash flow, etc. through operational excellence and lean production, production and site strategy, production control and working capital, factory and investment planning.
