Context
Our client, a leading global life sciences company, recognized the opportunity to further optimize their supply chain by improving data governance. With a focus on enhancing data accuracy, consistency, and visibility across departments, they sought a structured approach to streamline inventory control and improve planning efficiency, positioning themselves for continued success in a dynamic market.
Ambition: enhancing data accuracy and supply chain visibility
With multiple departments and systems working independently, the client saw an opportunity to unify supply chain data and enhance visibility. By improving data quality and addressing discrepancies, they aimed to streamline planning and accelerate decision-making. Implementing an integrated data governance framework would strengthen inventory control, reduce excess stock, and minimize obsolescence risk, driving a more efficient and resilient supply chain.
How we helped
We helped the client by conducting a comprehensive assessment of their data governance practices to identify key weaknesses. We supported the development of a detailed roadmap to enhance master data management (MDM), focusing on data centralization, process standardization, and the implementation of automated data quality controls. To strengthen accountability and data consistency, we guided the introduction of stewardship roles and MDM collaboration tools. Additionally, we assisted in designing a robust roll-out plan that included training for large groups of people, ensuring successful adoption and long-term commitment to data governance standards.
Results
The implementation of the new data governance framework enhanced data accuracy, reliability, and alignment with MDM standards. With improved visibility into inventory data, excess stock levels were minimized and obsolescence reduced, streamlining operations and accelerating response times. Strengthened communication and decision-making across the organization improved supply chain efficiency, positioning the client for continued operational excellence.
