Assembled Products Manufacturing
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
Product mix and changeover require an engaged, motivated and sustainable workforce with the ability to execute
Digital transformation eliminates manual practices and dependency on spreadsheets while delivering an enterprise-wide, collective intelligence.
