Reduce your supply chain working capital

Lasts weeks discussions again confirmed that too much capital is locked in the supply chain.
There are two angles to this. First you can save money by improving your supply chain control. Often companies lack the exact steering controls to manage their supply chain. You need to know them to the smallest detail. Too often companies lack these controls. In order to be competitive, you should actively collaborate with your supply chain partners, and be able to react in real time on opportunities and adverse events.

The second angle is the use of participation funds. In almost all regions in the Netherlands, there are investment funds of the provinces. These funds are desperately seeking for companies in the top sectors who want to grow and innovate. Logistics and manufacturing industry are in many of these funds in the sweet spot. So when you struggle with financing your primary operations and have the ambition to grow and innovate? See if you can involve one of the investment funds!
