Supply Chain Strategy


A company’s SCM strategy forms the framework for operational supply chain management. Supply chain management is successful when the measures taken support the strategic aims of the company. The necessary acceptance in the company can only be generated if this is the case. Vice-versa, the SCM strategy naturally also has a considerable effect on the business strategy (as regards location structures, internal processes, cooperation with external partners and the use of supporting IT systems) and must have an influence on it.

J&M works together with you to develop your own company-specific SCM strategy. Your business strategy, business processes, organizational structures, your SCM key performance indicators and IT systems as well as the ongoing measures and projects in your company are all taken into account when developing the strategy.

Management Consulting

We at J&M develop company-specific solutions for and with our customers. The range of consultancy services we offer are as follows:
  • SCM review
    J&M analyzes and documents business processes on the basis of the SCOR model and determines the strengths and weaknesses of the organisation as regards SCM. A portfolio analysis is used to assess existing IT systems and current SCM measures. We look into the possibilities the management has of using a system based on SCM key performance indicators to control the company’s logistics processes.
  • SCM strategy and design
    The strategic SCM aims are derived and formulated from the business strategy. J&M defines the key performance indicators required to gauge how far strategic aims have been met and to identify further potential. In addition, we also develop cause and effect networks which are then used to decide upon SCM aims and the measures required to implement them.
  • SCM roadmap and master plan
    Using a business case, J&M assesses the benefit, costs and ROI of the SCM initiatives. The steps required to implement a potential project are adapted according to the customer’s situation, and the accompanying measures relating to change management and staff training are planned and synchronized.
