Process- and chain analysis
Based on our experience, we can help you with questions focusing on the following development phases of the chain:
- The initiative phase, in which partners seek each other out, formulate their partnership intentions and take the first initiatives
- The preliminary investigation phase, in which the partners investigate the pros and cons of different partnership scenarios
- The project-design process, in which partners in the chain work jointly on clearly defined ambitions
- The process-design process, in which partners describe the production process in the chain and further organize the transitions between the process steps
- The evaluation phase, in which partnership initiatives are assessed, often in preparation for improvement actions
Why chain management?
- Customers are dissatisfied with the service provided by the chain
- Policy is fragmented and ineffective because of the many players with limited shared interests
- Social issues directly impact people (political interests)
- Inadequate performance and services (insufficiently demand-driven)
- Insufficient teamworking between chain partners (dependency relationships)
- Lack of innovation (changing demands and environment)
- Contradictions or gaps in the legislation (regulations)
Your results with chain management:
- Cost reduction
- Reducing uncertainty within the chain
- More transparency within the partnership
- Organizational, technological and market innovations
