Rebuilding a sourcing process for a tiered supplier base

European automotive supplier

Situation: Sourcing decisions were made case by case, with limited visibility of supplier risk across the tiered base.
Approach: Structured category logic, defined supplier qualification and award criteria, and introduced a recurring supplier risk review.
Outcome: A repeatable sourcing process with clearer award rationale and earlier visibility of continuity risk.

Aligning production planning with material availability

Automotive component manufacturer

Situation: Production plans were frequently revised because material availability was confirmed too late in the cycle.
Approach: Reviewed planning parameters in SAP PP/MM, tightened the demand-to-supply handover and set an integrated planning cadence.
Outcome: Fewer short-notice plan changes and a shared planning picture between procurement and production.

ManufacturingSupply ChainSAP

Inventory and MRP parameter review

Industrial manufacturer

Situation: Inventory was growing without a corresponding improvement in service levels.
Approach: Segmented materials, revisited MRP types, lot sizes and safety stock logic, and documented the maintenance routine.
Outcome: A defensible inventory policy per segment and clear ownership for keeping parameters current.
