Activities

Supply Chain Transparency

Supply Chain Management means being aware of every step a product travels from scratch to the final consumer, in other words to be able to trace the origins of all product ingredients and steps in production processes. Managing the whole supply chain is becoming increasingly important in many sectors.
Especially in emerging and developing countries, it is necessary to consider the reality of small and medium sized enterprises (SME), for instance in Asia and Africa. Based on local needs and conditions, a systematically and coordinated set of techniques is offered by 3p Institute to these SMEs. This requires ever a tailored approach of TVET (Technical and Vocational Educational Training - which bases upon a learning culture that encourages and educates people to be productive and competitive and to care for the people who are involved in production process) independently if it is related to industrial or agricultural production.

Capacity & Awareness Building

3p helps to implement the right set of measure to optimize a companies business processes with the goal of a sustainable future both ecologically, socially and economically. The training methods take self-assessment as the starting point.
Guidelines and forms complete the transfer of know-how. In order to ensure the use of new tools in an appropriate way, 3p offers additionally monitoring systems. An online assistance guides the user to achieve better understanding of best practice. Furthermore 3p maintains regular communication with the field of production as the organizational improvement within the supply chain management depends on time, engagement and continuity.
