When insolvencies cause a sudden change in the supply chain, fast reactions are required. Often, “snap decisions” are taken, describing the famous path “from the frying pan into the fire”. In such situations, we quickly point out resilient decision alternatives and support fast and viable solutions with our network in Europe.

In this specific case, a southern European supplier found itself in a legally tricky situation of insolvency proceedings, but was able to continue supplying under certain conditions. We were deployed in the project to continuously monitor the supply risks in the entire supply chain on the one hand, and on the other hand to monitor the output at the supplier’s site on a daily basis as well as to evaluate unit quantity and quality risks and to reduce them by means of partly ambitious measures. We were driven to achieve an optimum in production technology and were flanked by legal experts who assessed the feasibility of all measures. Today, production is still taking place at the site, an investor has taken over the production facility – also thanks to our involvement on site – and the supply chain has been fully stabilized.
