Supply Chain Collaboration
With traditional supply chains evolving into supply networks, close collaboration between an organization and its suppliers becomes increasingly critical. Successful collaboration starts with making sure that everyone has clear visibility into current inventory, forecast/consumption, shipments, commitments and other related information. Supply Chain collaboration solutions enhance visibility and increase the velocity and accuracy of information flow within the supply network and enable the creation of more adaptive supply networks.

We have a deep understanding of multiple supplier collaboration processes and have implemented many of them for various clients. These include:
  • Purchase orders: when replenishment is based on
       standard Purchase Orders issues by the customer
  • Release Process: when replenishment is triggered by
       customer releases from long term scheduling agreements
  • Supplier Managed Inventory Process: when suppliers are    responsible for the monitoring and replenishment of stocks
    at their customer’s location
  • Dynamic Replenishment: where both supplier and customer
       can get a  mid-to-long-term awareness of deviations in
       supply and demand, and take appropriate action early to
       avoid delayed shipments or over production situations
  • Contract Mfg. Purchasing Process: a derivative of the PO    process, it allows suppliers and customers to
       communicate  their respective requirements and  
       responses around a contract manufacturing relationship,
       accurately and in real time, and keeping their ERP
       environments up to date
  • Kanban: allows customers to send out KANBAN    replenishment signals to suppliers
