Geopolitics and the Supply Chain
Network and Location Decisions
Corporate networks often grow organically over many years – and this is precisely where one of the greatest strategic challenges lies. While individual optimizations at specific locations reach their limits, the focus is increasingly shifting to the entire production network and its overall performance. To ensure long-term competitiveness, a comprehensive analysis of location factors relevant to the company is required.
Dürr Consulting conducts a holistic analysis of location structures. This includes macroeconomic conditions as well as operational factors such as production costs, service levels, flexibility, transportation costs, time-to-market, and inventory levels.
Geopolitical tensions, limited material availability, sustainability requirements, shorter product life cycles, and volatile markets increase the vulnerability of existing structures. Companies therefore need robust and action-oriented approaches to resilience and risk management.
Dürr Consulting supports companies in holistically analyzing site structures and production networks, reducing risks, and developing robust approaches for resilient supply chains.
The goal is to facilitate efficient collaboration among all sites and consistently leverage synergies both within individual plants and at the network level. In this way, we help our clients secure their global competitiveness in the long term.
Resilience and Risk Management
Recent years have made it clear just how vulnerable global supply chains can be and how crucial it is to implement strategies quickly and reliably. Geopolitical tensions, limited material availability, sustainability requirements, shorter product life cycles, and increasingly volatile markets have clearly exposed the vulnerability of existing structures. Complexity is increasing and requires swift yet well-informed action.
Companies with their own vertical integration are significantly better equipped to act in crisis situations and noticeably reduce their risk.
At Dürr Consulting, we work with you to develop robust, action-oriented approaches based on our many years of global experience. In this way, we reduce your production and operational risks.
