Digital Demand Forecasting for Laboratory Consumables
A company that manufactures laboratory consumables and holds large volumes of critical data
A manufacturer of laboratory consumables needed better demand forecasting and greater transparency, because its data systems were not synchronized and a shared interface was missing.
The challenge
The situation
The manufacturer held large volumes of critical data, yet these were not synchronized with one another and a single source of truth was missing. Open questions concerned inventory quantities as well as demand forecasts by country and time period, while transparency over the supply situation remained low.
Our approach
What we delivered
Status-quo analysis with a maturity assessment of the existing data systems and processes
Identification of pain points in data systems and processes
Strategy and procedure development together with the client in a co-creation approach
Change management workshops to embed the new procedures
Positive reinforcement through early quick wins
The outcome
Results & impact
Proactive Management
Product demand and financial flows can be managed proactively rather than reactively.
Consolidated Procurement
The ability to consolidate procurement activities was improved.
Transparency via Dashboards
Pain points are made visible and traceable through digital dashboards.
Risk and Inventory
Efficient risk management and improved inventory monitoring became possible.
In summary
Demand and budget flow are managed transparently through digital dashboards and tools, keeping inventory, requirements, and orders traceable.
