Supply Chain Strategy

The supply chain strategy describes a company's comprehensive plan for managing the flow of goods and services along the entire value chain – from the procurement of raw materials to delivery to the customer.

Appropriate processes, technologies, organization and partnerships define supply networks that secure competitiveness and reduce risks. The strategy thus forms the framework for operational supply chain management in order to realize an optimal combination of delivery performance (service level), delivery costs and inventories.

A key challenge is to be able to flexibly adapt the supply chain strategy to changing market conditions. These can be customer requirements, new competitive constellations, or technological innovations.

In addition, economic and ecological framework conditions must be taken into account. For example, efforts to decarbonize the supply chain can lead to the identification of economic sustainability potential and risks being integrated into the supply chain strategy. In some sectors, there is a trend towards decentralization of the supply chain and the use of regionally produced components and services.
