context:

Die externe Zulieferkette ist überschaubar, großes Einsparungspotenzial steckt jedoch in der Verbesserung der internal Supply Chain und der Produktionsabläufe."

reasonably clearly structured


Explanation:
deltra's suggestion of "clearly structured" is best in my view, but "überschaubar" also suggests that the supply chain is not perfect and could be improved, therefore I'd recommend the additional "reasonably".
