360° Value Chain Assessment – Creating transparency across your entire value chain

A structured assessment of your value chain – covering organisation, processes, data and technology – provides clarity on its maturity level, structural gaps and specific areas for improvement.

The challenge: A lack of end-to-end transparency prevents effective supply chain management

Supply chains are under increasing pressure from external and internal changes: market expansion, portfolio expansion, corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and geopolitical uncertainties are increasing the complexity of the value chain.

At the same time, planning, production and logistics in many organisations operate with fragmented processes and system landscapes. These functional silos limit end-to-end transparency and make it difficult to manage the supply chain in a coordinated manner.

Without an objective assessment of their current level of maturity, companies lack the foundation needed to identify structural weaknesses and align their initiatives specifically with strategic goals. Instead of sustainable transformation, symptom-oriented measures and competing individual initiatives often dominate.

Our solution: 360° Value Chain Assessment

The 360° Value Chain Assessment provides a fact-based, structured analysis of the current maturity level of the entire value chain. The approach evaluates the end-to-end performance of the supply chain across the following dimensions:

  • Organisation
  • Processes
  • Data
  • Technology

This provides a clear picture of the current state of the value chain and of any structural gaps compared to the target vision. The assessment combines qualitative analysis, structured evaluation methods and benchmarking against best practices to systematically identify areas for improvement. The findings are then translated into a prioritised transformation roadmap with a quantified business case. This creates a clear link between strategic objectives and operational implementation.

Compass

Strategic value through expert knowledge

The 360° Value Chain Assessment provides an objective outside-in perspective on the entire value chain and links strategic objectives with operational improvement measures. This structured approach enables:

  • an integrated analysis of design-to-operate processes
  • a transparent assessment of supply chain maturity across all functions
  • a coordinated vision for the organisation, processes, data and technology
  • a prioritised roadmap setting out specific initiatives and key investment areas

This systematic assessment provides a sound basis for decision-making regarding strategic transformation programmes across the entire value chain.

Success Story

GMH Gruppe

Towards excellent sales and operations planning

The GMH Group, an industrial company with around 7,000 employees and several production sites, had highly fragmented planning structures due to past acquisitions. Seven sites within a technical cluster were operating with different planning processes, ranging from strategic and tactical to operational planning. cbs conducted a 360° Value Chain Assessment to provide transparency regarding the maturity level of the supply chain and to develop a shared vision for integrated planning processes. As part of the analysis, over 460 aspects of the supply chain were evaluated. This formed the basis for a clear vision and a three-year roadmap for the harmonisation and further development of cross-site integrated business planning processes.
