From Customer Value to Operations Strategy

Globally optimized Supply Chain Management is a key factor for realizing better business potential and increased revenues. The traditional supply chain has been organizationally segmented, thus inevitably leading to functional conflicts resulting in delays and distortion at interfaces. An optimized supply chain comprehensively covers every activity, process and operation that goes into planning, sourcing, producing and delivering a final product to the customer.

Westernacher views the supply chain as a seamless link between all activities and functions involved in creating products or services, starting with your supplier’s supplier and ending with your customer’s customer. By treating the supply chain holistically, we help you to unleash your company’s potential and to improve your competitive edge.
