Increased number of suppliers, greater number of outsourced functions, and unsynchronised data compromise today’s global supply chain management. Supply Chain Consulting’s Viewlocity Supplier Management (VSM) solution organises such information from all the trading partners into a single comprehensive system and provides tools to view, respond, and measure your supply chain.
VSM delivers lower inventory costs and improves an organisations ability to negotiate new contracts with suppliers and service providers, thereby reducing their overall cost to source components. Additionally, organisations realise a reduction in expedited freight costs and production disruptions, whilst ensuring an increase in the productivity of their purchasing organisation.
Features
Forecast and Order Visibility
Integrates forecasted demand and actual sales orders as they materialise. The buyer immediately knows any deviation in supply requirements resulting from forecast changes or inaccurate forecasts.
Purchase Order Management
Tracks the status of purchase orders and replenishment requests. Alert notification occurs when there is a change in the supply plan or when there is a need to generate a new replenishment.
Global Inventory Visibility
Organises parts from different nodes of the supply chain including any inventory that may be in transit or positioned at a partner’s location. Users are alerted based on inventory positions such as low stock or excess stock.
Dynamic Sourcing
Sources the parts dynamically from the supply chain in a manner that meets customer needs while minimising total delivery cost.
Supplier Score Carding
Monitors and measures the performance of suppliers against contracted service levels.
