KBC Wins Consultant Award Again!
KBC ranks among the top three consulting firms in the "Supply Chain Management" category and was honored by *Wirtschaftswoche* with the "Best of Consulting 2017 – SMEs" award.
Munich –After winning the “Top Consultant” award again this summer, KBC has now secured the “Best of Consulting – Mid-Sized Companies” award once more.
“Best of Consulting – Mittelstand” is honoring Germany’s best management consultants for the eighth time. To this end, WirtschaftsWoche calls on all consulting firms in Germany to have a client project evaluated by an academic advisory board and a jury. Up to three projects can be submitted across a total of seven different categories. KBC entered the competition with the project “Supplier Competence Network at an Automotive OEM” and received third place for this project.
In this project, KBC supports its clients in ensuring supply security. In the event of a supply bottleneck caused by a supplier, the consultants act as crisis managers to prevent or mitigate the impact on supply. In doing so, they are able to quickly address and manage a wide range of issues, including production optimization, manufacturing process expertise, lean management, plant operations expertise, automation, supply chain management, inbound/outbound logistics, and container management, as well as interim management or restructuring mandates.
The project’s relevance is not only due to the numerous product recalls—particularly in the automotive sector—over the past few months, but also underscores KBC’s expertise in supply chain management.
KBC Managing Director Stefan Kemény and KBC Manager Maximilian Leicht accepted the award in Düsseldorf with gratitude on behalf of all project team members.
