We fix it. · Crisis & distressed supply chain

STABILIZE

When the supply chain breaks, we put a task force on the shop floor – with continuity of supply as the top priority. Reactive when things go critical, preventive before they do.

“Your tier 2 has declared insolvency – in three weeks the parts will be missing.” When supply starts to fail, speed on the shop floor is what counts.

What we do

When there's a fire

  • A task force on site – with a committed response time and named leadership.
  • Identifying, qualifying and onboarding alternative sources of supply.
  • Emergency logistics: expedited transports, rerouting, securing stock.
  • Requirements analysis across the bill of materials – from the finished product down to the missing part.
  • Prioritising by urgency, so the line keeps running.

Before the fire

  • Early crisis detection under StaRUG (the German restructuring framework): an early warning system, thresholds and records that satisfy the management's duty of care.
  • Supply chain monitoring: continuous oversight of critical suppliers, credit ratings and stock levels.
  • Traceable risk assessment based on IDW S6 principles.
  • Contingency plans for the suppliers whose failure would actually hurt you – rehearsed, not filed away.
