Supply Chain Audit

Optimization of a Continental Production Logistics

A multinational in precision engineering was struggling with unexplained inventory discrepancies and rising logistics costs in their European distribution network.

The Challenge

The client identified an annual loss of 4.2% in inventory value and an 18% increase in transport costs over three years, with no clear cause in the operational reports. This led to delays in deliveries to key OEMs.

  • Unexplained inventory shortages
  • Exponential increase in transport costs
  • Delivery reliability under pressure

Our Approach

We implemented a phased, data-driven audit according to the Tiemons methodology, focused on the complete physical and administrative flow.

1
Process Mapping & Data Analysis

Detailed visibility of all hand-offs between production, warehouse, and transport.

2
Root Cause Identification

Quantifying losses per link and exposing system errors.

Implementation & Result

The implementation of a centralized track & trace system and revised control protocols eliminated the administrative disconnect. Operational teams were trained in the new working methods.
