Supply Chain & Network Operations
Deloitte aims to accelerate the transformation to the Future of Mobility for people & goods in Belgium. Our team provides consulting and advisory services to clients across the ecosystem, including policymakers, transport providers and enablers, and employers.
Traditional, linear supply chains are evolving into sets of dynamic, IoT-enabled digital supply networks (DSNs). The perennial supply chain pressures of boosting productivity, supporting innovation and moving faster—with more agility—become even more important as new business models, markets and competitors emerge. In a digital economy, digital supply networks become imperative.
Deloitte’s Supply Chain & Network Operations practice can help you to imagine, deliver and run your digital supply networks to address tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities—providing a platform for generating critical insights, optimising business processes and automating supply chain activities across your value chain.
We tackle organisations’ most complex issues by drawing on global capabilities that span all areas of business strategy and operations across industries such as consumer and industrial products, resources, financial services, telecom and healthcare.
Our world-class supply chain practice—plus our extensive technology enablement and digital enterprise transformation capabilities—can help you to respond to supply chain disruption with confidence and agility. Our DSN Strategy, Insights and Advanced Solutions professionals can help you design, build and operate a digital supply network, providing a flexible, future-facing ecosystem that connects elements across your supply chain—from product development to planning and sourcing to production and delivery, including post-delivery product monitoring, re-ordering and customer support.
Our Synchronised Planning teams develop integrated business strategies and supply planning solutions that co-ordinate the flow and delivery of products and materials through the supply network to optimally balance total cost to serve rising customer expectations. We’ll help you to visualise and plan your supply network from end to end, advising on process development, supply chain flexibility, service/repair planning, system implementations, performance metrics, analytics, organisation design and change management.
To address Logistics and Distribution, implement our industry-leading strategies to develop best practises for moving the right product to the right place at the right time. Our people will guide you to shape your distribution network, define your logistics outsourcing strategy, optimise your transport and warehouse operations and design your logistics systems.
For Supply Management & Digital Procurement needs, Deloitte marries cutting-edge digital tools with market-leading consulting services to drive insight around spend management and deliver increased cost savings at a faster pace. Aim for the best return on investment on your third-party procurement spending through Deloitte’s cloud-based solutions and services, driving category management, supplier management and sourcing of indirect and direct materials.
Further, our teams can help to transform your manufacturing portfolio into a competitive weapon and realise both the top and bottom line objectives of your organisation with Manufacturing Strategy & Smart Operations. Deloitte helps drive clients’ productivity and asset efficiency by implementing innovative Industry 4.0 solutions and building client capabilities to drive operational excellence. Through a combination of advanced digital assets and deep functional knowledge, we execute at the intersection of the boardroom and the shop floor.
Our offerings, enabled by cutting-edge technologies, range from pure manufacturing strategy to footprint rationalisation, lean transformation, asset efficiency, maintenance and reliability strategy, quality, extended manufacturing collaboration with the supply base and post-merger operational integration. Through these solutions we implement technology-enabled business process changes that affect enduring transformations, driving results which stand the test of time.
But to begin the transformation of your product development capabilities, you’ll need to improve product quality, reduce time-to-market and drive increased R&D return on investment. Our Product Strategy & Lifecycle Management professionals help you to optimise portfolio management, new product development, cross-functional collaboration, organisational efficiency, product data management and technology solutions for product lifecycle management.

Digital Supply Network
Dramatic advances in computing memory and processing are spurring entrepreneurs to develop innovative new digital technologies and capabilities. These technologies, including new sensors and artificial intelligence (also called machine learning and cognitive computing), create the foundation for analytics and a conversion between the physical and digital worlds, transforming traditional, linear supply chains into connected, intelligent, scalable, customizable, and nimble supply networks. The Deloitte Digital Supply Networks offering helps companies and business leaders capitalize on this opportunity, create competitive advantage, and compete to win.
Industry 4.0 and distribution centers
Transforming distribution operations through innovation: Warehouse-based stockpiling of inventory has been transforming into high-velocity distribution centers, which are increasingly considered strategic to providing competitive advantage. Industry 4.0 can aid the distribution center’s evolution, enabling adaptable, automated systems that can work with humans.
