Our capabilities

Supply Chain Diagnostics

Harnessing our analytical prowess, we meticulously dissect your supply chain, uncovering inefficiencies and bottlenecks to pave the way for targeted enhancements and optimised performance.

PwC’s Supply Chain Diagnostics approach begins with an end-to-end assessment to pinpoint performance gaps and challenges hindering supply chain performance. Utilising an outside-in perspective, benchmarks and best practices, we identify measures to enable next-level supply chain management. By defining a vision and target state aligned with business strategy, we lay the groundwork for transformative change. Our focus on ESG ensures that transparency and sustainability is embedded in the approach, tailored to the needs of the industry and client.

Our approach incorporates rigorous analytics, industry benchmarks and best practices to identify performance gaps and opportunities for improvement. We utilise proprietary diagnostic frameworks (e.g. the SCOR Model) and tools to analyse supply chain processes, uncover inefficiencies and quantify potential benefits. By leveraging our expertise in digitalisation and E2E visibility, we help you harness the potential of technologies to drive improvements in supply chain performance. 

We work closely with clients to ensure alignment between supply chain diagnostics and overarching business objectives. Our consultants collaborate with stakeholders to define a vision for the supply chain and design a target state that supports strategic goals. Through continuous communication and feedback loops, we ensure that supply chain diagnostics are tailored to address specific business challenges and opportunities for growth.
