How Do We Go About Optimizing Your SCM Organization and Human Resource Management?

Supply Chain Organisation

1. Definition of the scope of the study and coordination of the procedure: First, the project objectives are coordinated, and the project-relevant departments and processes are defined. In addition, interview partners are selected for the survey on the status of the company and the project organization and communication are coordinated.

2. Analysis and evaluation of the current situation: In the second step, the strengths and weaknesses of the current process and organizational structure of the company are determined utilizing interviews. In addition, the corporate status is benchmarked against suitable companies. Based on this, starting points for optimizing the organizational structure are identified and prioritized.

3. Derivation of organizational options and recommendations: Suitable organizational options and recommendations are derived from the results of the second step. In addition, both the new organizational structure and the associated processes to be designed are roughly defined.

4. Design of coordinated measures: In the final step, selected target processes are conceptualized and coordinated in detail based on the new organizational structure.
   
    

Human Resource Management

1. Analysis of existing qualifications: First, the supply chain's current personnel situation is analyzed and documented. Through interviews and best-practice benchmarking, weaknesses are identified concerning employee qualifications and needs-based staffing. Requirements for the future personnel structure in SCM are derived from this.
    
2. Design of measures to meet identified needs: The second step is to examine which actions should be considered to meet the defined requirements. Training or coaching programs can be designed for existing personnel. If external recruiting is necessary, job advertisements are prepared. If acute staff shortages arise, we prepare proposals for interim management by HÖVELER HOLZMANN CONSULTING staff.
