| Abstract [eng] |
This master’s thesis analyzes post-COVID-19 supply chain trends, focusing on how major external factors have disrupted traditional supply chain models. The study argues that traditional supply chains are no longer viable and cannot ensure business continuity in the current market environment. A new end-to-end supply chain model is introduced, characterized by its transparency and reliance on various digital tools to enable better responsiveness to issues. The second part of the thesis presents qualitative research conducted on 11 FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) inbound supply chains using the People, Technology, Processes framework. This involved physical audits of factories, focusing on key aspects such as material planning processes, master data quality, risk assessment and management, inventory accuracy, supplier management, training solutions, and performance management. The research identified current risks and gaps in the inbound supply chain and proposed solutions to address these issues. A comparative model illustrating the inbound process before and after implementing the proposed solutions is created and presented. |
