Digital Demand Forecast for Supply Chain Management of Health Products.​

Global demand management of health products.

The Challenge.

A huge amounts of late orders in combination with short shelf-life times were present. Lack of transparency and flexibility due to ad-hoc and manual orders. Five main product categories with almost two thousand specifications for more than a hundred focus countries. Limited supply chain expertise and capacities present to ensure reliable and sustainable delivery of health products. Finally, no on-stock information, no qualified person in place at the different countries and a variety of different stakeholders were detected as main points of interest.

The Benefits.

  • Development of a digital wireframe prototype focused on demand planning and supply chain strengthening
  • Agile optimization via Scrum-Approach including several sprints
