Supply chain and operations
We work across the whole supply chain, from steering material flow to the shop floor and on to the digitalisation of your operations. Our consultants support your teams, and our interim managers lead the operations function through a ramp-up or a plant start-up.
On these subjects, Auxys works in two ways, across France. Through specialist resourcing, a consultant is based at your site and works at your teams’ pace. Through interim management, a manager takes charge of the supply chain or of operations for a period agreed with you.
