Manufacturers of assembled products face daily challenges in their business operations, planning and supply chain:
- Component diversity, in-coming quality and supplier performance require constant diligence to assure product delivery and minimize risk
- Semi-automated production requires both connectivity and context for material management and end product traceability
- Mixed-mode manufacturing for many products including aftermarket spare parts for the auto industry which complicates planning, scheduling and forecasting
- Consumers are demanding more customized products which add to the product mix requiring more materials, WIP and Finished Products
- Collaboration between supply chain partners, planning function and production execution has become an imperative to success
