Prior to the KORN CONSULT GROUP project, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) was facing an imminent shutdown due to a global semiconductor and various passive component shortages. The frequently changing needs of the OEM, problems in transportation, production planning and communication with the customer led to a permanent crisis.
ANALYSIS (risk assessment):
The main challenges were to perform a risk assessment by analysing the supply chain from Tier 1 to EMS to n-tier, reviewing processes, interfaces, organisational resources and SAP usage, and using run-out spreadsheets to identify potential bottlenecks.
IMPLEMENTATION (empowerment):
The implementation phase by KORN CONSULT GROUP consultants focused on stabilising the supply chain by deploying interim resources, establishing robust shortage management strategies, finding alternative sources, conducting run-out simulations to anticipate and address potential disruptions, and creating a comprehensive risk radar covering over 100% of the parts range.
✅ KORN CONSULT GROUP’s solutions ensured supply chain stability, guaranteeing an uninterrupted flow of components from electronics suppliers through n-TIER to Tier 1 and ultimately to the OEM.
✅ The project also included the identification and resolution of organisational issues and a holistic approach to process improvement and organisational development.
Using KCG’s 4-phase model, building into the client’s organisation, rapid problem solving, the task force activities led to short-term stabilisation.
To ensure sustainability, KCG provided leadership coaching, teaching new methods and solutions.
