With customer demand fuelling the rise of the hybrid, where does that leave EVs?
Automakers are facing a dilemma – with demand for hybrid cars burgeoning but having already invested in building pure EV platforms, what should they do now?
For optimum cost efficiency, flexibility and resilience against market changes, all elements within a supply chain must be evaluated and adjusted to deliver their best possible value. With our extensive operational expertise, we can model the end-to-end supply chain to ensure that at every stage – from customer requirement to distribution – all processes, structures and technology are interacting seamlessly to achieve customer satisfaction while maintaining cost control.
Vendigital Approach
When designing end-to-end supply chain activities, we focus on four key areas: strategy; process; organisation; and technology. This is applied across every aspect of the supply chain from initial strategy, such as demand capacity modelling, through to management and execution, including warehouse management and route planning.
In defining a procurement and contract management strategy, we model all contract stages to improve efficiency and minimise risk. As well as establishing and implementing contract administration, we evaluate relationship and performance management to deliver the best outcomes.
By identifying and designing demand management and strategy deployment across suppliers, we align demand with supply for optimum efficiency and delivery.
With cascading strategic deployment across all TLBs (Transport Load Builders), we can effectively plan capacity and consistently fulfil demand.
Each of these stages is monitored and reviewed via appropriately identified KPIs, defined targets and assigned performance management responsibilities.
We develop all central indirect processes, which are consistently reviewed to ensure ongoing compliance. Performance metrics are set and, where gaps are identified, processes are redesigned as required.
In evaluating the organisation, we begin by identifying business full time equivalent (FTE) requirements and provide FTE support through consortium on prioritised projects, and burning platforms are identified to drive improvements.
By ensuring FTE support is provided, we can rapidly address backlog challenges. With these elements strategically aligned with and across TLB leads, we can reduce inefficiencies across the supply chain and support the fulfilment of the business’s strategic goals.
To optimise technology use, we use our consulting expertise and digital platform to assess and categorise procurement data and suppliers, delivering valuable, holistic insights to the business. We then evaluate the opportunities for automation and demand management notification to ensure the benefits of these tools are maximised.

The EU commission has also stated that it is “open to a mutually acceptable solution” on the subject of Chinese EV imports. While a path to agreement is likely to take time, it could be a win-win for the EU and China.
New product development (NPD) in the FMCG sector often comes with high cost and carbon implications. Businesses must create a holistic process that considers these aspects from ideation through to waste minimisation.
