Rohstoffbeschaffung bewältigen

Die Herausforderungen

Rohstoffpreise können stark schwanken — und das oft unerwartet. Ohne die richtigen Werkzeuge erkennen Unternehmen Marktveränderungen häufig zu spät. Das führt zu verpassten Gelegenheiten und steigenden Kosten.
1
Spätes Erkennen von Markttrends
Unternehmen verpassen oft kritische Preisänderungen und reagieren zu langsam auf Marktentwicklungen.
2
Unsicherheiten bei der Bestandsplanung
Ohne genaue Prognosen riskieren Sie entweder zu hohe Lagerkosten durch Überbestände oder Produktionsstopps durch Unterbestände.
3
Unvorhergesehene Kostensteigerungen
Volatile Rohstoffpreise können Budgets sprengen und geplante Margen zerstören. Fehlt zudem eine entsprechende Absicherungsstrategie, können solche Schwankungen massive finanzielle Risiken bedeuten.
4
Fehlende Transparenz
Oft fehlen klare Einblicke in die Zusammenhänge zwischen Bedarfen, Preisen und Lieferketten.
