Supply Chain Excellence

Supply chain and logistics processes are only set up optimally if the goods reach the customer on time. Supply chain excellence describes the perfection of process-oriented planning, control, and constant optimization of all material and information flows (logistics chains) across the entire value-creation process, End2End, from acquisition of the raw materials to individual processing and production steps, on through to the end consumer. This can only succeed with a consistent orientation of supply chain management to the end consumers’ demands, flexible and demand-oriented production, and the constant optimization of processes, resources, and costs. valantic helps companies achieve excellence in supply chain management.
