Circular Supply Chains

Why?

Circular Supply Chains are needed to improve the sustainability performance of an organization. This includes eco-design for products, using recycled raw material, as well es 4Rs at the end of a product life cycle

What?

Through our one-day, virtual Sustainable Supply Chain Master Class we create awareness across all levels in your organization what a Sustainable Supply Chain is and how digital technology could be used to create a Circular Supply Chain.

The Circular Supply Chain Assessment looks at the current state of your supply chain from a circularity perspective, benchmarking you against industry standards and best practices, e.g. Catena-X Circular Economy KIT, and provides recommendation to close the gaps.

A Circular Supply Chain Strategy describes your vision of a Circular Supply Chain and uses a Sustainable Supply Chain Maturity Model to plan a roadmap from where you are to where you want to go. It also covers topics like changes to your current operating model and digital landscape.

The Circular Supply Chain Architecture describes the execution of your Circular Supply Chain Strategy and is therefore often created in a project covering both, strategy and architecture. The architecture describes the future process and digital landscape required to effectively and efficiently implement supply chain circularity.

During the Circular Supply Chain Solution Implementation, we support our clients with technology agnostic capabilities like project management, business analysis, solution architecture and solution/product QA.

How?

• Our advisory work is outcome based, meaning you get a fixed price for a set of specified deliverables. This helps you manage your budget better.
• We use standards and industry best practices to shape our work. This ensures interoperability as well as the availability of enough skilled resources for implementation.
• We also use reference frameworks, architectures and models to maximize re-use of existing open-source IP, accelerating development for project deliverables.
• In all our engagement we use GenAI and AI Agents to augment our consultants. This improves the productivity but also provides more relevant insights and functions as a QA mechanism.
• From a way of working perspective, we prefer a Design Thinking approach and Agile/Scrum for project delivery.
