Supply Chain Controlling

Basics of supply chain controlling

• Objectives, areas of responsibility and benefits - an overview of the key figures.

Control variables in the supply chain

• Supplier management: including delivery service level, supplier evaluation, importance of Incoterms.
• Control supply chain processes: e.g. productivity, throughput time, error rate.
• Inventory controlling in SC: including raw materials, semi-finished products, finished articles, ABC/XYZ analysis, sediment analysis, stock range, forecast accuracy.
• Production controlling: e.g. flow rate, OEE, set-up times, throughput time.
• Warehouse and dispatch in the SC: including productivity, daily up-to-dateness, warehouse fill level, order structure.
• Delivery performance: including ROTIF, perfect order, order throughput time, delivery service level.
• Transport controlling: including customer, sales and shipment structure, transit times, costs per shipment/customer stop/kg, downtimes.
• Costs in SC: Total Cost of SC, logistics costs in relation to sales, determination of process costs.
• Development of key figures for your own practice, illustration using numerous practical examples.

Methods and procedures for the targeted use of key figures

• Recognize and manage risks in the end-to-end supply chain.
• Software-supported supply chain network optimization.
• Optimization of the production footprint.
• Tools and methods to optimize processes, reduce costs, increase efficiency and ensure customer satisfaction.
• Production as an internal supplier: optimizing capacity and productivity.
• Optimizing inventories in the supply chain: including requirements planning, scheduling and order processing, product range analysis, calculation of safety stocks.
• Increase performance and productivity in warehouse/dispatch: active work with key figures, manage personnel deployment, optimized use of warehouse technology.
• Fulfilling customer orders on time: effectively reducing throughput times, BPR (Business Process Reengineering), among other things.
• Making transportation and distribution efficient and cost-effective: Fleet management, management of service providers, outsourcing, tender management.
