Supply Chain & Logistics

Across all sectors, the supply chain faces many challenges. Many internal and external factors are testing the robustness and resilience of today's supply chain.

The post-Covid phase highlighted tensions over raw materials, in terms of availability and costs. The crisis also had a financial impact on a large number of privileged and strategic partners, weakening the entire value chain.

The war in Ukraine has exacerbated the raw materials crisis, with soaring costs, and has highlighted the supply chain's dependence on certain countries, in an unstable geopolitical context.

Current protectionism in the USA and China, the development of a more socially and environmentally responsible supply chain, and cybersecurity risks are all factors challenging the current supply chain.

The sharp rise in production rates, fueled by the sustained post-Covid recovery and the war in Ukraine for the Defense sector, are further undermining the current limits of the supply chain.

Our approach

In line with Maexinvent's DNA, our consultants support companies in their strategic thinking (industrial strategy, Supply Chain & Purchasing), but also in the implementation of actions at operational level and the deployment of solutions (development of new sources, transfer of work, rate readiness, planning methods, etc.).

Our approach covers both short-term, operational issues to contain crises, and medium/long-term issues to define strategy and improve supply chain resilience.
