The growing complexity of today’s supply chain networks requires greater integration of processes and organizations in order to regain control and drive top line growth. By improving collaboration among internal and external trading partners, ensuring effective knowledge sharing and and installing visibility into the supply chain, enhanced responsiveness of supply chain operations allow the company to better cope with fluctuating cutomer demands and external development. As a result of greater supply chain integration, firms are more likely to boost performance through efficiencies improvements, lead time reduction, superior customer service and enhanced product innovation capabilities. 

Whilst many regard integration as a solely technical exercise, BearingPoint’s Supply Chain integration approach emphasizes the importance of consistent integration efforts within the organizational subsystems of people, process and technology. We provide our clients with customized solutions to the integration challenges such as the lack of internal and external cooperation, significant differences in operational practices and data communication across the supply chain network, or the use of inadequate technology. Our Supply Chain Integration offering covers the following topics:

• Management Control Framework
