Flow in your Supply Chain

A good Supply Chain means good flow. Flow of materials, flow of information, flow of documents. In reality, however, there are bottlenecks, equipment breaking down, materials not arriving in time, etc. You probably wanted to pick these problems up and solve them, but did not have the time to do so….. An excellent opportunity to start a small project to improve now!

Quality Control: What is right?

Delivering a good quality product to the customer is very important. Quality control can sometimes be time consuming and there are always questions such as: are we measuring the right values? Should we measure more or less frequently? Is the whole team measuring in the same way? Let’s find answers!

Having data without knowing……

In an average process, a lot of data is already available. Sometimes it is isn’t obvious. Data can be hidden or in the wrong format. Some people love looking at this data. But is it the right type? What kind of conclusions can we derive from this data? Do we actually need it or can we stop collecting this data? A short data analysis will give insights!
