    Why it matters

    Copper & non-ferrous metals & Electronic components & semiconductors & Plastics, resins & polymers & Steel, sheet-metal & enclosures & Logistics, energy & MRO carry medium+ supply risk and softer delivery — a single shortfall can stall a production line.

    What's driving it
    • 5 of 6 inputs at medium+ risk
    • Avg OTIF 93% across the panel

    Why it matters

    €51 M of cash stays in the business by moving DPO from 70d to the 74-day target on €3,300 M of spend — no hit to margin.

    What's driving it
    • DPO 70d vs 74d target

    Why it matters

    Copper & non-ferrous metals (€900 M) and Electronic components & semiconductors (€800 M) are 52% of spend — concentrating volume earns rebates and priority allocation.

    What's driving it

€3,300 M of copper, polymers, electronics, steel & packaging runs through 6 input lines — copper & metals the single biggest line and the key cost driver (US tariffs added ~$100 m to the cost base in FY2025). This view turns that into two moves: a €51 M cash release from stretching to terms, and a secure-supply plan for the 5 inputs whose risk could stall production.
