Camelot successfully assisted a multinational chemical company in shaping its supply chain strategy and defining clear supply chain service offerings. The goal was to further advance the digitalization of the Order-to-Cash process and underlying supply chain processes. Operating in a highly complex setup characterized by diverse product portfolios, fluctuating customer demands, and versatile production processes, the company struggled with fragmented and inefficient supply chain operations. By defining differentiated business types aligned to specific market requirements and matching them with defined production criteria based on production specifics, the company could implement clear business rules. These rules enabled the automation and digitalization of processes, leading to enhanced efficiency and effectiveness across the supply chain.

Our consulting team partnered with a leading pharma company, owned by a private equity firm, to design and implement a new distribution strategy that would align with its fast growth through acquisitions over the past years. To solidify the company’s achievements and prepare for further growth, a more streamlined product distribution approach was essential. The strategic goals included maintaining or improving service levels across all customer channels, simplifying management processes, and reducing costs. We began with a thorough analysis of their current distribution setup, identifying key inefficiencies and areas for improvement. Based on these insights, we designed a tailored distribution strategy and helped select the best-fit partners. The new strategy was successfully implemented and has since delivered significant service improvements and cost savings.

During the challenging period of supply chain disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Camelot provided hands-on support to a private equity-owned client struggling with significant bottlenecks in product delivery. The company faced severe delays and disruptions in its intercompany replenishment supply chain, leading to a sharp increase in customer backorders. To address these challenges, our consultants implemented strategic measures at organizational, process, and collaboration levels to debottleneck the supply chains. These measures were embedded sustainably in the organization’s operating model. A key factor in our success was the collaborative and hands-on resolution of order fulfillment issues. As a result, we were able to mitigate critical out-of-stock situations and significantly reduce back orders to customers within a few months, stabilizing the supply chain during a critical time.

A value chain strategy is a comprehensive plan that guides a company in generating value for its customers and stakeholders across its entire value chain, from sourcing materials to delivering the final product or service to customers. It involves analyzing each step in the value chain to identify opportunities for optimization, cost reduction, quality enhancement, and overall performance improvement.
A value chain strategy is essential for businesses because it optimizes operations, enhances competitiveness, and drives value creation for both customers and shareholders.
Developing a value chain strategy begins with a thorough understanding of the overall business strategy, aligning it with customer needs and the company’s value proposition. The next step involves identifying the necessary capabilities to execute the business strategy effectively. This is followed by a gap analysis, comparing current capabilities with strategic objectives to pinpoint areas for improvement. Subsequently, a detailed roadmap is developed, outlining the steps to close the identified gaps. The value chain strategy is then implemented according to this roadmap.
The success of a value chain strategy is typically assessed through various performance metrics with a primary focus on service level, working capital, and cost efficiency. In addition, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability and resilience as key indicators of effectiveness. Depending on the specific value proposition defined in the business strategy, concrete performance targets for a value chain strategy can be derived along these dimensions. By aligning these targets with the overarching business goals, companies can ensure that their value chain strategy effectively contributes to overall success and competitiveness.
