End-to-End Supply Chain Strategy & Optimization

The right supply chain configuration and strategy in line with patient needs, commercial aspirations, and capabilities of the end-to-end supply ecosystem is mission critical for life science companies. With our experienced team we help you define and implement the right strategies and measures to make supply chain a competitive edge: resilient, adaptive, and cost-efficient

• SC maturity assessment
• End-to-end network design and resilience
• Value identification
• Target state design and envisioning
• Top team support and alignment

End-to-end planning is the backbone of any strong supply chain. We help you challenge and improve current ways of working, make best use of systems and data, and implement robust planning processes with state-of-the-art systems and data strategies.

• Tech / APS and AI strategy plus roadmap
• S&OP / IBP redesign and simplification
• End-to-end planning diagnostic and redesign
• Launch-to-scale planning integration
• Scenario / risk-based demand & supply planning

Invest your working capital wisely. We use data-driven and holistic approaches to rightsize and best allocate inventory along the end-to-end value chain to minimize cash and maximize service, and protect critical launches and business growth.

• Cross-functional inventory governance setup
• End-to-end diagnostic and opportunity identification
• Lever design and implementation
• Data-driven stock parametrization
• Inventory management processes and metrics

Effective integration and management of external manufacturing/ CMOs is mission critical for life science companies, be it in clinical and commercial phase. Our experts can support the full cycle of decisions, from CMO selection & contracting, over setting up metrics & governance, to optimizing manufacturing, supply chain, and quality performance.

• External manufacturing maturity assessment and roadmap
• Operating model and process design
• Boosting partner collaboration
• Contracting strategies
• CDMO performance management design

Leading supply chains need robust, flexible and cost-efficient processes, metrics, roles, governance and systems. We bring practical know how and benchmarks to minimize internal friction and maximize service, enabling critical launches and business growth.

• Process design & optimization
• Streamline org, decisions, RACI
• Metrics/ KPIs, steering and control concepts
• External ecosystem integration (CDMO, 3PL)
• Re-organization, verticalization, hubbing

Between inflationary cost pressures, strict regulatory requirements, and new launches and modalities – adaptive and cost-effective distribution capabilities are a must for life science companies. Our team can support with:

• Regional/ global distribution footprint redesign
• 3PL strategy and partner consolidation
• Re-tendering and cost optimization
• Contracting, provider management and governance
• Service-level and lane optimization
