Supply chain processes have many moving parts— effective configuration, monitoring, management, measurement, and more -- and the optimization of each is incredibly important if manufacturing businesses want to succeed and thrive in their respective markets.
Improving these processes and thus increasing manufacturing productivity is easier than you think: implement the right technology that will enable robust monitoring of supply and demand.
Monitor Supply & Demand with Infor SyteLine ERP
Infor SyteLine is an end-to-end enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that offers a complete suite of applications to help businesses manage their operations, including financials, manufacturing, customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), and more. It can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud.
SyteLine makes it easy to monitor and forecast supply and demand. Going beyond the abilities of the typical inventory management software, this smart solution was developed by manufacturing industry experts in such a way that manufacturers can:
- Decrease delivery time and increase order accuracy by ensuring each order is suitable for the customer and feasible for production.
- Mitigate the negative impacts of shortages due to supply chain delays and minimize excess materials and inventory, allowing businesses to meet demand without expending extra energy and resources.
- Streamline and automate the monitoring process of inventory forecasts, safety stock, and more.
Leveraging the features and functionality of Infor Syteline enables manufacturers to operate with increased agility and achieve the following outcomes, all of which increase productivity and thereby drive revenue growth.
Streamline Schedules and Services
To maximize the benefits of quickly and efficiently monitoring demand, manufacturers must update their production schedules as quickly as possible. Luckily, Infor SyteLine streamlines the process of updating schedules, allowing users to provide customers with accurate, real-time estimates.
SyteLine allows users to manage more than just the manufacturing process; it supports the entire product lifecycle from customer engagement, sales, and design and development, to manufacturing, delivery, and post-sale service.
