Targeted supplier and capacity selection to cover your demand

This means predictable demand, larger individual orders and short-term demand peaks can be covered in a targeted way. At the same time, we create the basis for more reliable sourcing across suitable partner factories and locations.

Selecting production partners to match the sourcing project

Not every partner factory is equally suited to every product, every quantity or every technical requirement. That is why we assess which production partners fit your specific demand. In doing so, we take into account, among other things:

• product type and specification
• material and processing
• order quantity and repeat demand
• available production capacity
• delivery window and scheduling requirements
• quality requirements and certifications
• the partner factory's experience with comparable products

On this basis, we can deploy production capacity in a targeted way and prepare sourcing projects more efficiently. For strategically important projects, selected production partners can also be visited in person.

Using several locations and suppliers strategically

For larger or recurring demand, it can make sense not to work with only a single production site. A multi-supplier strategy or production at several locations can help to secure capacity better and respond more flexibly to fluctuations in demand.

packconsult can assess for you whether spreading demand across several production partners or sourcing markets makes sense. In doing so, we make sure that quality, specification and coordination remain consistent across the different locations.

In international sourcing markets in particular, a broader supplier and country strategy can create additional security when conditions, capacity or supply routes change. Once suppliers and capacity are set, clear agreements create more planning and contract security in international sourcing.

Relevant for predictable demand and short-term peaks

This service is particularly relevant when you regularly need larger quantities, have to cover short-term demand peaks or want to build up additional production capacity for a product.

For new products, new markets, rising volumes or existing supply bottlenecks, too, targeted supplier and capacity selection helps to make sourcing more predictable and more resilient.

More certainty for covering your demand

You benefit from an international production network that is not deployed in a blanket way but to match your demand. packconsult takes on the pre-selection of suitable partner factories, checks available capacity and coordinates the alignment with the production partners.

This gives you more transparency about which production possibilities exist, which locations are an option and how your demand can be reliably covered. Discover how packconsult frees up internal resources and reduces the need to build your own sourcing structures — under Cost and resource savings.
