Demand Collaboration
Demand Collaboration enables a continuous dialog with key customers about changing customer material requirements at the part level for large OEMs, or at the product level for service centers. Customers provide updated forecasts, and metals companies provide allocation commitments and order receipt status. This solution helps to improve customer delivery performance while minimizing unnecessary inventory.
Collaborative Supply Execution
Supply Collaboration / Lean Replenishment is web-based solution that enables forecast collaboration with suppliers, so that suppliers have a continuously updated forward view of item requirements. The item forecast transitions to firm schedule collaboration, where planned shipments are converted into Kanban or VMI transactions. This includes invoice capture, receipt confirmation, and handling of returns and rejects.
Consolidated Procurement is designed to help manage centralized procurement across multiple divisions or outsourced business units. It provides a single system of reference with links to back-end systems, allowing local transaction processing. This solution provides global visibility and tracking of all purchasing activity.
