Due to the Covid19 pandemic and the impact of Brexit, companies are reinventing themselves and looking for new ways to compete.
Supply Chains for the 21st Century (SC21) helps businesses become more resilient by accelerating their competitiveness and raising their performance in order to gain more value in the eyes of the customers. The programme has been running for more than 14 years and now more than ever can help aerospace and defence industry companies survive.
With the SC21 Operational Excellence (OE) Programme, Quality & Delivery performance / productivity are kept at a high level, consistently throughout time. The method is also focused on the improvement of Manufacturing, Business and Relationship diagnostics.
