Intelligent Supply Chain
Use Case
Improving visibility and management of the supply chain
Improving operational efficiency is essential for manufacturers to stay competitive. Supply and inventory management are a constant challenge for manufacturers with major trade-offs in benefits and risks.
Carrying less inventory provides a financial benefit to manufacturers, but also carries real risk. If production lines halt due to supplier issues, orders can be lost and customer satisfaction drops.
Improving the reliability of supply chain and logistics management is necessary to reduce the risk of optimizing inventory management and carrying less inventory in production warehouses.
