Description

TraceLink’s Supply Management is a multienterprise application to improve performance and predictability in external material manufacturing and finished goods production ecosystem by digitalizing shared supply chain processes and workflows.

 
Benefits

Supply Management is designed to close the gap between disparate islands of information, disconnected processes, and uncoordinated cross-company teams struggling to manage the production lifecycle from production order to final product delivery in an outsourced supply ecosystem.

  • Improve on-time, in-full delivery results by synchronizing activities and improving coordination between customer and contract partner teams
  • Reduce order-to-cash cycle times by reducing delays, streamlining activities, and proactively averting potential exceptions and issues in the production lifecycle
  • Reduce operational costs by making human capital resources more efficient
  • Ensure material ability and supplier readiness for production start
  • Decrease finished goods and intermediate material inventory levels while leaning out safety stock
  • Improve collaborative supply planning with supply partners and improve trade partner satisfaction
  • Capture more accurate and reliable partner information to inform SOX compliance activities
  • Capture key performance indicators to monitor current activities and inform operational excellence programs
