Data-Based Supply Chain Analysis with Power BI

Pharmaceutical manufacturing company with a non-transparent supply chain

Low transparency over bottlenecks in the supply chain led to inefficiencies and delays.

The challenge

The situation

The company faced considerable challenges in its supply chain: low transparency over existing bottlenecks led to inefficiencies and delays. The lack of visibility into process flows made it difficult to identify and address critical problems in a targeted way.

Our approach

What we delivered

Mapping of the supply-chain processes, because without visibility of the flows it was not apparent where the bottlenecks actually arise.

Development of process KPIs that make bottlenecks measurable rather than merely describing them.

Monitoring of the metrics in Power BI, so that the transparency outlasts the project instead of depending on a one-off analysis.

The outcome

Results & impact

+20% efficiency

Efficiency increase in the supply chain through transparency and KPI control.

Multi-stage project plan

Structured implementation plan for the supply-chain improvement.

In summary

The supply chain is transparent through process KPIs and Power BI monitoring; bottlenecks can be identified in a targeted way and efficiency has increased measurably.
