LCP applies its RapiSCAN® and Cost-to-Serve® methodologies to increase supply chain competitiveness of one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies

One of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies -  Fresenius -  was experiencing a significant increase in competition, particularly in the UK.  The competition was price based but with only a basic customer service.

The challenge? To  improve  competitiveness,  maintan market share, but not at the expense of customer service, in order to maintain as a point of differentiation.

Applying LCP's RapiSCAN® methodology with detailed supply chain analysis and diagnostics, opportunities for improvement and cost savings were quickly established.

Major opportunities to rationalise inventory and restructure transport management were identified enabling rapid and signficant cost savings
