Mid-sized pharmaceutical company with a growing supply chain
Undefined processes and unclear responsibilities led to delays and rising costs in inbound logistics.
The challenge
The situation
A lack of defined processes and unclear responsibilities in inbound logistics led to delays and rising costs. The absence of a structured approach hampered the timely delivery of raw materials.
Our approach
What we delivered
Complete mapping of the inbound-logistics value chain, to establish the five core areas in which the delays were arising.
Building a RACI matrix to clarify responsibilities
Definition of a project plan for implementation, so that the RACI matrix becomes a working sequence rather than just a document.
The outcome
Results & impact
Five core areas analyzed
End-to-end analysis of five areas of inbound logistics.
RACI matrix established
Clear responsibilities defined along the entire value chain.
In summary
