COMPLETE Senior Consultant - Supply Chain - Manufacturing

Job Description

Are you willing to take the challenge of building a better working world, improving manufacturers’ performance in a dynamic, digital world? 

 

 

The opportunity 

Manufacturers have long pursued manufacturing excellence programs to continually improve the performance of their facilities and equipment. Many of those initiatives were successful for a time, but they’ve lacked staying power. Today, most manufacturers still struggle to achieve — and sustain — higher levels of performance. And now they also have to deal with escalating digital disruption that increasingly challenges their competitiveness and ability to grow. 

Our EY teams understand how to improve productivity for smarter, faster and more advanced manufacturing. With our EY Smart Factory methodology and our unique partnership with P&G at the foundation, we help our clients achieve operational efficiency across the organization to build a better tomorrow!  

EY has been rated one of the leading manufacturing consulting firms in the world, and very few organizations match the scope, scale, and ability to lead companies through a sustainable manufacturing transformation. For our growing Supply Chain and Operations practice in Belgium we are looking for a Senior Consultant – Manufacturing to strengthen our manufacturing team.
