Supply Chain Consulting
Logistics audit
ACTEGA Metal Print GmbH (hereinafter referred to as AMP) is a start-up founded in 2017 within the ALTANA-/ACTEGA Group, which holds a patent for the ecological and economical printing of labels and packaging with metal pigments. The commercial installation of this sustainable metallization technology is run internationally under the brand “EcoLeaf”. AMP’s business model consists of the sale of specialized and high technological printing processes and machines.
Evaluation and recommended action
The existing supply chain elements and basic conditions were sufficient for the prototype and trial machine construction, but were to be professionalized with regard to the planned steep growth in sales as a result of the company’s international market entry. In order to systematically prepare the short-term decisions and tasks for optimizing the logistics performance, AMP requested an external review of the current status of its supply chain and a recommendation for future development steps.
Guide for supply chain measures
Within a few audit days, TransCare examined the entire technical-physical and commercial-administrative processes and framework conditions of the existing supply chain and identified the decisions and measures required to realize the growth plans. The results of the analysis and the recommendations derived were then presented to AMP in detail and discussed together, thus forming the coordinated basis for the upcoming internal implementation.
