Reorganization Supply Chain at Thales

Thales is one of the world's leading high-tech companies. The group offers solutions in five major markets: digital security, defense, aeronautics, space and transport.

Reorganization of the Supply Chain department

Thalès RCS supplies ticketing systems for public transport systems worldwide. Its supply chain is highly decentralized, and its various regional entities operate according to radically different models. As a result, delivery performance falls short of customer expectations.

Our mission

  • Define a coherent and efficient operating model for the supply chain function, with a global distribution of teams and activities.
  • Analyze the existing situation through interviews with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Lead multicultural working groups to define a standardized international model.
  • Build relevant scenarios, based on business expertise and SWOT analysis.
  • Build the detailed business plan for the chosen solution and the transformation roadmap.

Results achieved

  • 3-year transformation plan based on 5 strategic axes, approved by RCS management committee.
  • 2-year return on investment on the chosen scenario.

Customer quotes
