End2End Solution

End-to-end solutions for your engineering supply chain

Many people can now imagine the term Supply Chain Management (SCM) in a manufacturing context. The supply chain describes the integrated processes within a production. These range from customer requirements, through planning and procurement, to production and the associated billing of costs and income in a company's financial system.

It quickly becomes apparent that value creation in the manufacturing company begins very early in the life cycle of a product - more precisely, in the design and development phase.

It is precisely in this phase that the course for the product life cycle is set. The success of the final product then depends primarily on features & functions, the market price, maintainability and the processes at the end of its life cycle (EOL, scrapping, etc.).

What could be more obvious than integrating the business and procedural issues of the design and development phase directly and directly into the highly integrated world of the supply chain? If the entire engineering phase is included in this process chain, the integrated process approximates to the optimum to be achieved. That optimum enables all those involved to think in end-to-end processes, and thus to dispose of isolated departmental thinking (silo thinking).

If the facts are transferred to a global company with several development and production sites (multi-site manufacturing), we speak of an integrated and global engineering supply chain.
