Analytical work, operational leadership and delivering complex projects \u2013 that is the common thread of my career.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I am Mag. (FH) Andreas Zich, founder and owner of AZentron Solutions and former Director Supply Chain Management at HOFER. Since 2026 I have been supporting companies as a consultant, external project manager, interim manager and sparring partner for executives. From my office in Oberwang I work as a supply chain expert for Upper Austria, Salzburg and Bavaria; from my office in Altenmarkt an der Triesting for Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My background in sales and key account management rounds out my view of supply chain and logistics: I know what logistics has to deliver for sales \u2013 and what it costs when it does not.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the outset we agree on objectives, scope and responsibilities. We review progress and impact against suitable criteria \u2013 such as inventory accuracy, error rates, costs, delivery performance or project milestones. At the end I hand over results and responsibilities to your team. My aim: that everything keeps running without me.<\/p>
