AutomotiveProcurementSupply ChainInternational Sourcing

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.

AutomotiveSupply ChainIBPSAP

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

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.

ManufacturingInternational SourcingProcurementEurope Market Access

Mid-sized manufacturer

Situation: The company wanted to widen its supply base internationally without adding quality or continuity risk.
Approach: Built a market long list, ran structured qualification and sampling, and defined onboarding and performance criteria.
Outcome: A qualified alternative supplier pool and a documented process for adding new sources.

ManufacturingSupply ChainSAP

Manufacturing site

Situation: Warehouse execution diverged from the system process, creating manual corrections.
Approach: Mapped physical flows against SAP EWM/MM steps and reconciled the process design with day-to-day execution.
Outcome: Fewer manual corrections and a process description that matches what happens on the floor.

Flowers & BouquetsInternational SourcingProcurementSupply Chain

Flower and bouquet business

Situation: Availability depended on a narrow set of origins, leaving peaks exposed to shortfalls.
Approach: Extended the grower and supplier network across origins, formalised specification and quality expectations, and set performance follow-up.
Outcome: Broader sourcing options for peak periods and a clearer basis for supplier conversations.

Flowers & BouquetsIBPSupply Chain

Bouquet producer

Situation: Sharp seasonal peaks were planned largely from experience, with limited structure behind the commitments.
Approach: Introduced a seasonal planning rhythm linking demand signals, grower commitments, processing capacity and logistics lead times.
Outcome: Earlier alignment between commercial commitments and what the supply chain can realistically deliver.

Flowers & BouquetsSupply ChainInternational Sourcing

International flower supply chain

Situation: Transit variability was affecting freshness on arrival for long-distance origins.
Approach: Reviewed routing, handover points and time buffers, and clarified responsibilities across the transport chain.
Outcome: A more predictable arrival window and explicit escalation points when transit slips.

ManufacturingEurope Market AccessInternational SourcingProcurement

Non-EU manufacturer

Situation: A supplier wanted to serve European industrial buyers but lacked a route into those procurement processes.
Approach: Clarified buyer expectations, prepared qualification documentation and structured a staged approach to the market.
Outcome: A credible entry approach aligned with how European industrial buyers actually source.
