Expert and process consulting

Expert and process consulting with ebp-consulting

A high-performing supply chain is a critical success factor for today’s businesses—regardless of industry, company size, or business model. Our expert and process consulting services support organizations along the entire value and logistics chain in making their operational and strategic processes more efficient, robust, and adaptable. The goal is to establish seamless end-to-end processes, significantly improve operational KPIs, and build a solid foundation for future growth and digital transformation.

We analyze, design, and optimize structures, processes, and IT landscapes—if required even beyond company boundaries, for example in collaboration with suppliers, logistics service providers, or sales partners. Our consulting approach combines methodological excellence, deep process expertise, and a strong focus on practical implementation. We cover the entire spectrum of the supply chain: from strategic planning to operational control, from production to distribution, and from order fulfillment to sourcing and procurement.

Our core strengths lie in the analysis, design, development, and implementation of complex challenges. Using structured methodologies, data-driven analyses, and a clear understanding of industry-specific requirements, we accurately identify optimization potentials and translate them into actionable measures. We consider not only process-related but also organizational and technological aspects—because only the interplay of these elements enables sustainable performance improvements.

A particular focus is placed on the design of planning and control processes, such as production planning, demand and sales planning, inventory management, and shopfloor control. By leveraging modern planning methodologies (e.g., S&OP, IBP, Lean Planning) and digital tools, we create transparency and enable stable, agile decision-making. In manufacturing environments, we also support companies in harmonizing production flows, optimizing material movements, and aligning production depth and capacity in the best possible way.

In logistics, our focus lies on designing efficient warehousing and transport processes, layout planning, optimizing intralogistics material flows, and selecting appropriate technologies—for example automation and sensor solutions. For highly implementation-oriented, technical topics, we also provide comprehensive engineering services, such as material flow analyses, detailed layout planning, or specifications for logistics systems and equipment.

Typical service modules within our process consulting include:

• Potential Analyses: Systematic identification of efficiency and cost-saving opportunities along the entire supply chain.
• Business Process Reengineering: Fundamental redesign of end-to-end processes, considering modern technologies and organizational requirements.
• Process Analysis and Design: Structured documentation of as-is processes, modeling and definition of integrated to-be processes.
• Process Concept Development: Derivation of concrete target models, responsibilities, KPIs, control mechanisms, and system requirements.
• Cost-Benefit Evaluations: Assessment of measures with regard to cost, benefits, ROI, and operational feasibility.
• Detailed Planning and Engineering: Technical design down to operational detail, including material flow simulations, layout designs, and tender specifications.
  

Through this combination of strategic expertise, operational depth, and technical know-how, we create solutions that not only convince conceptually, but also deliver measurable value in practice.
