Supply chain optimization for manufacturing companies

You can't manage production in silos

As the number of components, finished goods, and product variants grows, planning becomes increasingly vulnerable. When procurement, production, and supply chain operate in silos, blind spots emerge that can lead to delays, expedited purchases, and working capital tied up in the wrong inventory.

Inact connects data and decisions across functions, ensuring that planning, procurement, and production operate from the same reality and pursue the same goals.

Frigiv 20% af din lagerværdi

Varebeholdningen er virksomhedens levebrød, og er altid til debat. Salg vil have mere. Finans vil have mindre. I midten står Supply Chain.

Alle beslutninger ender på lageret og det kan virke som en gordisk knude at finde balancen mellem højere leveringssikkerhed, kortere leveringstid og lavere lageromkostninger.

Inact er specialister i optimering af kapitalbinding hos SMV virksomheder. Vores løsning og metode leverer faktabaseret indsigt, tager følelserne ud af diskussionen, og giver dig værktøjerne til at finde den rette balance mellem leveringssikkerhed, leveringstid og lageromkostninger.

Resultatet er, at vi reducerer dit lager med 20-35%.

Do you recognize these challenges?

More components and product variants make planning and inventory management more complex

Sourcing, planning, and purchasing working with separate data and counteracting each other

Silos lead to longer lead times, excess inventory, and constant firefighting

Lack of visibility makes it difficult to establish shared planning and inventory policies

When connection creates results

One of the manufacturing companies we have the pleasure of working with is Alfa Laval. 

Alfa Laval is a global engineering and manufacturing company with 60 factories worldwide. They deliver heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling systems to the energy, food, and marine sectors. 

With so many factories and a high degree of complexity, there is a need for a strong framework for inventory management. It is about creating a common direction across the factories, so planning and purchasing of both raw materials and finished goods work together. In doing so, service levels can be improved and turnover rate increased.

Manglende praksis for lagerstyring

Fabrikkerne havde ingen fælles retningslinjer, hvilket førte til inkonsistente processer og ineffektiv lagerstyring.

Lokal planlægning i Excel

Planlægningen foregik lokalt med manuelle værktøjer, hvilket gav fejl, manglende overblik og suboptimering.

Ingen handlingsrettede indsigter til at forbedre lagermål

Data var svære at omsætte til konkrete tiltag, hvilket begrænsede muligheden for forbedringer.

Fabrikker der arbejder i siloer

Siloarbejde hæmmede koordinering, planlægning på tværs og prioritering af ressourcer.

Overskydende lager og bundet arbejdskapital

Store lagre bandt kapital og skabte ineffektivitet samt begrænsede investeringsmuligheder.

Global ramme og politikker for lagerstyring

Indførelse af en global ramme skabte ensartethed og sikrede effektiv styring på tværs af alle lokationer.

Centralt SCM-team udruller automatiserede planlægningsparametre

Et centralt team implementerede automatiserede parametre, som sikrede præcise og ensartede beslutningsgrundlag.

Fælles sprog og handlingsrettede indsigter

Med et fælles sprog og konkrete indsigter kunne teams træffe målrettede beslutninger og optimere lagermål.

Understøttelse af en global S&OP-proces

En global S&OP-proces sikrede koordinering og fælles beslutninger på tværs af fabrikker og funktioner.

25 % reduktion i lagerbeholdning

Målrettet optimering reducerede lagerbeholdningen med 25 %, frigjorde kapital og forbedrede cash flow.
