Circular Supply Chains

Why?

Circular Supply Chains are needed to improve the sustainability performance of an organization. This includes eco-design for products, using recycled raw material, as well as the 4Rs at the end of a product life cycle

What?

Catena-X offers some standardized use cases for a circular supply chain. Those can be combined and extended to other circular economy use cases to implement a circular supply chain.

During the implementation of a Circular Supply Chain solution, we support our clients with technology agnostic capabilities like project management, business analysis, solution architecture and solution/product QA. The technology specific capabilities can be provided by the partners of our clients or through partners in our value network.

Before jumping in the implementation of a Circular Supply Chain solution, we recommend to look at the topic from a strategy and architecture perspective. For this INOVIA Consulting has the matching advisory services.

How?

  • We use standards and industry best practices to shape our work. This ensures interoperability as well as the availability of enough skilled resources for implementation.
  • We also use reference frameworks, architectures and models to maximize re-use of existing open-source IP, accelerating development for project deliverables, while improving quality
  • In all our engagement we use GenAI and AI Agents to augment our consultants. This improves the productivity but also provides more relevant insights and functions as a QA mechanism.
  • From a way of working perspective, we prefer a Design Thinking approach for analysis and design and Agile/Scrum for solution implemenation.
