Efficiency analysis – Unlock hidden potential
Gain an objective assessment of your planning quality and planning reliability.
Identify weaknesses, quantify improvement opportunities, and discover how much value can be created through a more efficient, resilient, and predictable supply chain.
The Efficiency Analysis is a comprehensive health check of your supply chain.
Planning reliability & quality
Order transparency
Lower working capital
Only what is measured can be effectively improved.
A unique approach to measuring Supply Chain Performance
Our efficiency analysis assesses planning quality across customer demand, production planning, and procurement processes.
By combining quantitative and financial performance metrics, it reveals where planning reliability is compromised, where revenue is at risk, and where operational inefficiencies occur.
The analysis identifies:
• Revenue at risk due to planning deficiencies
• Production orders exposed to supply chain disruptions
• Scheduling and delivery conflicts
• Material shortages and coverage gaps
• Hidden risks and planning uncertainties
This creates a clear, measurable foundation for targeted improvement and sustainable performance gains.

Take control of your material management and planning – take your Supply Chain Performance to the next level.
Does that sound familiar?
- A customer asks for a reliable delivery date.
- Sales turns to production for an answer
- Production contacts procurement because critical materials are missing.
- Procurement, in turn, has to follow up with suppliers to clarify delivery dates.
As these requests occur day after day, the people involved become overloaded. Instead of information flowing naturally through the organization, employees spend their time chasing it.
What is missing: Order transparancy!
Creating complete transparency across customer orders, production, procurement, and material availability.
As a result, information becomes instantly available, decisions can be made faster, and delivery commitments become more reliable.
Wasted effort or real productivity?
Expensive rush orders for materials that cannot yet be used in production.
Teams focusing on symptoms instead of root causes.
Departmental optimization at the expense of overall supply chain performance.
Limited visibility leading to poor decision-making.
The result: significant effort with little impact — wasted effort instead of operational effectiveness.
What is being measured ?
We measure and analyze the performance of your sales, production, and procurement processes based on customer orders, production orders, and purchasing activities.
The analysis is conducted across four planning horizons:
• Past, • Short-, Mid-, and Long-Term
Each planning horizon has its own priorities, risks, and level of urgency.
By evaluating planning quality and planning reliability across these time horizons, we identify weaknesses, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities throughout your supply chain.
The result is a clear roadmap for targeted optimization, improved planning performance, and sustainable efficiency gains.
Measurable Supply Chain Risks
The efficience analysis reveals root causes and hidden potential !
Most companies recognize the symptoms of supply chain inefficiencies. Few understand their true causes.
Our proprietary Efficiency Analysis provides complete transparency into planning quality, planning reliability, and operational performance. It identifies not only where problems occur, but also why they occur—and where the greatest improvement potential exists.
The result is a clear roadmap for targeted optimization, measurable performance improvements, and a more resilient, efficient, and competitive supply chain.
Planning reliability is planning quality !
The Foundation for Operational Excellence
Manufacturing companies face growing challenges—from material shortages and planning uncertainties to increasing pressure on delivery performance.
These challenges often result in operational disruptions, firefighting, and reduced efficiency.
Our tailored solutions help you build a more transparent, reliable, and resilient supply chain—enabling stable production processes, improved delivery performance, and sustainable business growth.
Continuous improvement through continuous monitoring
Supply chain disruptions and planning risks must not only be identified—they must be systematically eliminated and prevented from recurring.
Our continuously running Efficiency Analysis provides real-time visibility into emerging risks, planning deviations, and operational weaknesses.
This enables organizations to monitor progress, measure improvement, and maintain long-term supply chain performance with confidence.
