Crisis-proof supply chains – with the supply chain management (SCM) maturity check

Each crisis revealed fundamental weaknesses in the supply chains, from COVID to the semiconductor shortage to the war in Ukraine. Many companies initially responded with short-term measures. However, factors such as political uncertainty, rapid technological change, the isolation of individual markets, and geographical shifts in demand continue to exert pressure. It is only a matter of time before the next crisis occurs.

EFESO studies show that many companies have not yet overcome structural deficits. Supply chains have often grown historically; there is usually a lack of an end-to-end strategy for cost optimization and tracking supplier performance. The most significant deficit is frequently the digitalization of supply chain management. However, this is necessary to create transparency and support critical decisions.

With the SCM maturity check, you can find out how mature your supply chain management is – and whether you are equipped for future challenges. Based on the status quo and the identified gaps, we develop strategies for optimization. After additional benchmarking with peer groups, you will receive your SCM roadmap with a value-benefit analysis – your path to an excellent supply chain.
