The customer

  • Challenges

    Fresenius Medical Care wanted to evaluate how Axon™ could create measurable supply chain value in a limited timeframe and with limited SME involvement.

    Key objectives included:

        • Identifying inventory optimization opportunities driving cost savings.
        • Revealing process inefficiencies and operational bottlenecks.
        • Assessing master data quality and inventory health.
        • Demonstrating that Axon can identify value and enable quick wins from proof of value findings.
        • Understanding how Axon could integrate into the existing technology landscape.

  • Solution

    Bluecrux delivered a focused supply chain proof of value with Axon to uncover improvement opportunities and demonstrate business impact through a fully data-driven approach.
    Scope delivered:
      • AI–generated supply chain virtual twin and Value Stream Maps.
      • Master data accuracy.
      • E2E inventory visibility and capability to simulate with different inventory drivers.
      • Automated safety stock calculations and inventory health.

    In parallel, dedicated enablement workshops helped stakeholders understand Axon’s capabilities, future roadmap, and enterprise adoption potential.

  • Results

    • The Axon PoV was completed on schedule and with limited Fresenius Medical Care SME involvement.
    • Double-digit inventory savings opportunities were identified within the PoV scope.
    • Operational gaps were identified, prioritized, and translated into targeted improvement initiatives.
    • Stakeholders gained a strong understanding of Axon’s business value, enabling informed decisions on future deployment and scaling.
