The underlying problem: The Bullwhip Effect Supply Chain Inventories Customer Demand Source: Porsche Consulting 21

Key success factor is to produce real demand at point of sale Client example Insight: Sales to Customer vs. Consumer Off-take +/ - 40% P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9 P10 Demand at point of sale Finished goods produced Source: Client example Porsche Consulting real figures 23
The solution is to break up silos and implement an end to end, demand driven pull throughout the whole supply chain Central forecasting Supplier Production Wholesale. Retail Customer Pull Pull Pull Pull Pull Source: Porsche Consulting, Photo: Fotolia 24
