IN-NOVA – WORKING ON ACHIEVING VALUE CHAIN EXCELLENCE
IN-NOVA’s methods towards Value Chain
Excellence are based on a set of targeted
key enablers:
•
Synchronization of the supply chain,
intense levels of high-quality, high-impact
collaboration, and this supported by a
targeted blend of required technologies.
This includes a wide range of “digital”
technologies, but also a lot of “traditional”
engineering technology.
•
Systematic, integrative, and joint efforts to
achieve mastery in all three dimensions of
value chain excellence:
o
Functional Excellence to provide high
mastery within each function‘s task
spectrum: Fast, agile, effective,
efficient, on-time, on-cost, no waste.
o
Horizontal Excellence to allow and
support a seamless flow of orders,
materials, and products along the
supply chain, from sales and spare
parts management, through all SC
operations, down to the supply base
o
Vertical Excellence to integrate the
different contributions and needs of
the functions to be prepared for
fulfilling orders, and to accomplish
deliveries, such as: Products
developed for manufacturability,
packaging, and shipments; product
ramp up coordinated and timely, and
financial targets supporting the
individual performance requirements.
Integration of supply chain with the overall value chain
is the foundation of high performance - always using the
contributions in each excellence dimension
•
The supply chain can only deliver optimal
performance if it is fully and truly embedded into an
enabling value chain environment
•
Each company, and each supply chain has a
different, individual blend of required excellences
•
Integration and Excellences are geared towards
improving internal and external collaboration
(internal functions, customers, suppliers, partners)
•
With so many participants involveld, power games
become a regular topic but also are obstacles
towards true performance. Therefore the appropriate
“Balance of Powers” is necessary to achieve
maximum value-adding impact from all
participantes
•
Targeted outsourcing and partnering brings
additional perofmance leverage when it is build on
super-strength of selected providers, not just on cost
advantages (which are mostly short term, or involve
significant hidden cost)
•
A necessary focus of all measures is on enhancing
agility and resilience of operations along the end-to-
end supply chain.
