Do you encounter problems or find new opportunities for improvement in a supply chain? In the last ten years, there has been increased disruption in global supply chains due to some causes such as natural disasters, trade wars, and the current pandemic. Now is the time to ensure the right solutions are there to increase the extent of real time visibility into your supply chains so that you can respond appropriately and reduce risk.
Businesses are facing a host of challenges in making informed decisions, facilitating collaboration, and ensuring accurate task alignment across teams due to the fragmentation of data sources and limited to no real-time insights. This is where Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management comes in.
Enable better business decision-making by centralizing your data on a single platform, delivering a single source of truth supported through advanced analytics and insights. Explore mixed-reality solutions that enable engineers and other workers with specialized expertise to provide remote service through hands-free devices. Drive collaboration and real-time task alignment among workers across the business, from headquarters to back office to front of house.
Developing insights that improve visibility in a new supplier environment remains challenging for businesses in today’s global supply chain networks, hampering demand forecasting. It also makes it difficult to maintain proper inventory control across the channel to facilitate a response to any interruption. What can Microsoft Dynamics 365 SCM do?
Improve end-to-end visibility in your supply chain across geographies and time zones by integrating sales and purchasing with logistics, inventory, production, warehouse, and transportation management. Integrate sales and marketing pipeline data into the planning process to better forecast demand. Run what-if analyses to combat changes and disruptions, exploring new suppliers, new geographies, as well as negotiations and reallocations with customers. Deliver cross-channel inventory visibility with real-time insight into product location and stock levels for both internal and external consumption.
Businesses are facing costly downtime and reduced asset longevity owing to inefficient scheduling and maintenance practices. This lack of real-time predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring blocks your operational efficiency. This leads to increased errors and safety risks, affecting your productivity and product quality.
With Microsoft Dynamics 365 SCM, reduce costly downtime and extend the longevity of assets by performing predictive maintenance, leveraging enhanced resource scheduling, IoT, and mixed reality to keep lines running 24-7. Use mixed reality to eliminate costly errors and increase workforce efficiency and safety during the maintenance of business-critical assets. Increase uptime, throughput, and quality by proactively managing shop floor and equipment operations with a real-time view of your entire production and stock using IoT.
Organizations are struggling to optimize and enhance their fulfillment processes and manage costs which is caused by disconnected logistics across channels. Additionally, challenges like mismatched inventory and demand and inefficient order management are negatively affecting business continuity.
This is how Microsoft Dynamics 365 SCM can help. Optimize fulfillment and reduce costs by synchronizing logistics across sites, warehouses, and transportation modes. Limit inventory storage in supply chain nodes, which can put a burden on cash flow. Reduce store operations costs while reinvigorating the role of the store sales environment with actionable alerts for managers and employees triggered by store activity. Ensure business continuity by optimizing your sourcing and fulfillment strategy with a fast and sophisticated supplier qualification process. Reduce the cost of demand fulfillment through intelligent distributed order management and agile product fulfillment options.
Current supply chain challenges may become the new normal, as businesses shift their focus from “just-in-time” to “just-in-case.” You can take steps to increase your supply chain resiliency, achieving results in the short term that can build into long-term sustainability for your business. Microsoft Dynamics 365 SCM is a platform that brings all your supply chain functions under one unified platform, giving you an edge over competitors.
