Validating the control tower strategy

Assignment

Validate the control tower strategy for a large industrial manufacturing company and support the outsourcing process to select multiple LLPs.

Project summary

BCI supported a large industrial manufacturer in the validation of the control tower strategy in terms of organization structure, headcount, systems and partners.

Our approach

• Mapping the end to end supply chain for the industrial company both from a finished goods as well as a spare parts perspective
• Mapping the current control towers outsourced to a LLP on BCI’s Control Tower Maturity Grid
• Identification of any gaps and improvement areas
• Validation of the future control tower strategy already defined by the Client
• Validation of the long list of LLPs as the Client already executed a Request for Information
• Data collection and finetuning of the future control tower set up
• Development of a Request for Proposal (RFP) strategy (scope, geo, functions, IT, etc.)
• Execution of the RFP process
• LLP due diligence
• Selection of 2 LLPs to run the global control towers for finished goods and spare parts
• Contracting support
• Implementation support

Result

Validated control tower strategy for all geo’s and for both finished goods as well as spare parts. Thorough selection process. Selected and contracted 2 LLPs to execute the control tower for the Client.
