LIEFERKETTENMANAGEMENT · SAP S/4HANA · INTERIM-MANAGEMENT
Supply chains that deliver
on their promises.
For over 20 years, I have been supporting industrial, pharmaceutical, and automotive companies in transforming their supply chains, from process mapping to a successful S/4HANA go-live.
Consulting that lands in the process –
not just in the presentation.
Supply Chain Consulting
Mapping, modelling and standardising processes, from demand planning through production control to quality assurance. Measurable, documented and workable in day-to-day operations.
SAP S/4HANA & IBP
Rollouts, migrations and Fiori enablement in SAP PP, PP-PI and QM. From the explore phase through integration and acceptance testing to hypercare.
Interim Management
Leadership on a temporary basis for transformations, plant ramp-ups and critical project phases. Experience leading teams of 5 to 45 people.
Training & Mentoring
Key user training, BPMN 2.0 workshops and a planning academy. Knowledge that stays in the company after the project instead of leaving with the consultant.
ABOUT ME
Daniel Despa
Senior Consultant for Supply Chain Management
Graduate engineer in transport engineering, working in process and project consulting for over 20 years. I combine technical understanding with change management. Systems, people and workflows have to fit together, otherwise every optimisation stays theoretical.

19+ years of SAP PP, PP-PI, QM and S/4HANA
13+ years of process and project management

APPROACH
Four steps from analysis to lasting adoption.
01
Analysis
Mapping as-is processes, documenting interfaces and making bottlenecks along the chain visible.
02
Concept
Modelling to-be processes, defining system logic and drawing clear lines of responsibility.
03
Implementation
Configuration, integration and acceptance testing, training and support all the way to go-live.
04
Adoption
Hypercare, documentation and knowledge transfer to your key users, so everything keeps running without me.
INDUSTRIES
Where I am at home.
Pharma & Biotech
GxP-compliant processes, validated systems and demanding documentation requirements, including at CSL Behring and Carl Zeiss.
Automotive & Mechanical Engineering
Series production, high variant complexity and tight cycle times across the entire value chain.
Defence & Security Technology
Ballistic protection systems and modular carrier units with high demands on traceability, quality and delivery reliability.
Food & Consumer Goods
Industrial bakeries, frozen goods and global production and distribution networks.
PROJECTS
Selected projects.
