Taking a step back to move forward 🚶♂️ At BrightWolves, we believe that from time to time, taking a step back from the day-to-day of consulting is key to becoming better at what we do. That’s why part of the team recently followed a 3-day OCEB2 Business Process Management (BPM) Foundation training 🏋️♂️💼 This was the perfect opportunity to reflect on our practices, challenge how we approach client projects, and sharpen our business sense to be able to deliver in real-life scenarios. Key learnings that will impact our client projects: 📈 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. By mastering BPM concepts and tools like BPMN, we can better streamline processes, by making them more efficient, adaptable, and goal-oriented. 🔍 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐏𝐌 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬. We now have a deeper understanding of the frameworks that align with governance, quality, and metrics, which allows us to tackle complex projects with a more structured and impactful approach. 🎯 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦-𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠. The hands-on nature of the training gave us practical skills to apply directly to our projects, ensuring we bring measurable improvements to client operations. We’re excited to take these new insights and apply them to real-life use cases for our clients, helping them improve their processes and driving tangible results! Thanks again to Alain Dries for the insightful training! 👏 And you? What's the last training you had the chance to follow?

The story of how we stabilized a supply chain in crisis 🚚 A few weeks ago, we covered the automotive chip shortage and its link to the supply chain phenomenon called Bullwhip effect. Today, Jules and Victor will dive into another example of this effect, moving from chips to the chemicals sector ⚗️ This particular company faced severe supply chain disruptions, linked to misaligned communication and processes across the operations. Realizing that solving the issue starts by involving the right people, the team started by identifying the pain points with all stakeholders, internal and external 👥 After creating a comprehensive roadmap, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work by : 📈 Improving sales forecasting by integrating time series analysis and fostering collaboration between sales and procurement teams. 📦 Optimizing inventory levels by moving away from the traditional two-zone inventory system and implementing a tailored three-zone approach. 🤝 Enhancing transparency by establishing regular communication channels to share important information (capacity, leadtime, sales,..) with upstream and downstream partners These actions not only brought immediate stability at the client, but also built a more resilient and future-proof supply chain 🔗 What would you put in place to prevent the Bullwhip effect?
