Process & Value Chain Consulting for Life Sciences

What is the merit of end-to-end value chain management?

The pandemic has put a spotlight on process and value chain management. But leaders in Life Sciences have long before recognized value chain management as a critical differentiator to create business value. Let’s look at three specific areas:

  • Value chain management delivers significant bottom-line improvements such as reducing transportation costs, lower inventories, optimized accounts payables, receivables, and more.
  • Value chain management is a crucial enabler in delivering synergies and cost reductions after a business merger.
  • Value chain management is a key discipline to harmonize company processes – a prerequisite to start the digital transformation and become an intelligent enterprise.

4 steps to redesign the value chain

Today, Life Sciences companies stay successful in their specific ecosystem by quickly switching roles in the value chain. We help clients achieve the right level of flexibility in their operating models following these four steps.

  1. 01

    Value chain strategy design

    Different functions within Life Sciences companies often need to be able to act in various roles. Therefore, it is vital to have corresponding operating models in place within the specific ecosystem. We help clients achieve this required level of flexibility and agility to connect with business partners by applying AI, RPA, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

  2. 02

    Process assessment

    It is essential to have a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of enterprise processes to improve value chain performance. With our strong Life Sciences expertise, Tenthpin consultants assess the maturity of Life Sciences companies in a very efficient manner, providing a holistic overview of improvement areas compared to industry benchmarks.

  3. 03

    Operating model & process design

    After the process assessment has delivered the levers for improvements, we design new operating model(s) and corresponding processes. A new operating model comprises to-be processes and a fresh organizational set-up, including roles. Working with Tenthpin means designing best-in-class operating models and processes which are agile, scalable, and resilient.

  4. 04

How to test if your supply chain is stress-resilient?

A digital supply chain twin is an ideal way to simulate multiple disruptive scenarios supply chains might face and thereby helps derive strategic and tactical decisions. Furthermore, you can build comprehensive business cases for investment decisions on digital twin results.
