Integrated Supply Chain Management Solution

An integrated supply chain management solution allows you to plan and implement changes through real time business intelligence. Your supply chain inventory management system, forecasts, resourcing, production plans, flow and process management, customer delivery, after-sales support and service are key parts of the IBS business management supply chain solutions.

Your business management supply chain is a network of distribution, manufacturing and warehouse facilities. These take raw materials from your suppliers, make them into your products and send them to your customers.

Integration of your supply chain management solution includes the purchase of raw materials, product manufacturing, product warehousing, transport and logistics, finance, sales, customer service and working with your partners and customers.
 
With an integrated supply chain management solution you will have the right facts at the right time to make the right decisions. It is an operational business intelligence system. It should be viewed in three areas:
  • Strategic view where you define the supply chain inventory management flow to meet your goals. This includes your manufacturing, your production, your stock levels, your warehouse needs, your suppliers, purchasing and sales.
  • Tactical view that details how you will meet your business needs and the demand for your products. 
  • Operational view that manages your day to day actions. 
You see change daily; things don’t always go to plan. You will find issues to deal with such as a lack of raw materials, your facilities may fail or orders may change. You must have accurate facts so that you can take the right actions at the right time. Your supply chain management solution must allow for change at any time and quickly share details of that change.

In the past, many companies operated silos including procurement, production and distribution. Well stocked warehouses used to be the best way to meet customer demand changes. Today, you need to provide your products and services faster and cheaper. You need to reduce your costs. You need to act quickly and decisively with the right facts. You may need a “just-in-time” production and delivery strategy. For more facts on an integrated supply chain management solution, you may read our E-Book.
