Manufacturing in the digital supply chain

Manufacturing from the Cloud

Manage your manufacturing organisation in a trusted Cloud environment, fully secured and accessible anytime, anywhere of any modern device.

Get “baked in” Manufacturing best practices, with real-time insight and alerts to manage sales, logistics and production on the spot. Go for smarter planning and sourcing decisions with automated visibility of available inventory capacity.

Operations Management

Operations management in this evolutionary process is now fully data driven and supported by the IoT. This provides instant insight as reactive approaches to solving equipment issues that are transforming to predictive asset health for operations planning, what-if simulations, and optimized maintenance strategies, with all operational information available instantly in a digital boardroom.

Process automation of repetitive tasks helps eliminate manual processes in the evolution, replacing them with embedded machine learning and digital assistants.

Customer Experience

From a customer engagement perspective, the digitalization of sales processes is a key part of this evolution. Instead of in-person interactions and manual order taking, the next-generation customer experience provides digital product data in e-commerce shops, automated order taking, and a value-driven customer engagement.

Digitalization of the sales process

In the light of digitalization, the sales process for component manufacturers will transform by leveraging consumer-grade customer experiences. Product information is provided through an e-commerce store rather than in a printed format. The customer can search for related product information unassisted and place an order without involving a sales representative. A sales order is created automatically in the order fulfillment system. The sales manager continues the process with an insight-to-action-driven approach based on KPIs, managing back orders with the ability to drill down and triggering a conversation with an embedded digital assistant. The order fulfillment manager receives the notification and uses the embedded available-to-promise capabilities to reallocate available material to high-priority sales orders.

Enable the end-to-end Digital Value Chain

Insight to action

Embedding analytics and using digital assistants help component manufacturers generate detailed information to resolve issues, prioritize activities, and drill into specific analytics to link business transactions and collaboratively make better decisions faster.

Customer centricity

Offering a consumer-grade digital experience is critical for intelligent component manufacturing. By producing parts that fit the exact needs of the customer and engaging customers early in the buying cycle, manufacturers can leverage comprehensive insights across all sales channels to provide highly desired, on-time, and top-quality parts to their customers.

Serving the need for variability

Delivering a wide variety of high-quality innovative products and services quickly is mandatory in today’s digital economy. By capturing customer requirements effectively and driving mass customization, component manufacturers can maximize customer satisfaction,differentiate from the competition, and grow market share.

Smart factory and digital supply chain

Developing and managing intelligent business networks that integrate vertically into customer markets enables manufacturing processes to become more efficient by leveraging IoT technologies to drive efficient production operations and improve product quality.

Digital smart products

Providing innovative solutions and managing digital intellectual property (IP) effectively help component manufacturers actualize replenishment strategies and leverage new technology such as 3D printing capabilities for spare parts to keep costs down, minimize risk, and reduce downtime.

Aftermarket service

Meeting or exceeding customer expectations by providing predictive services, timely spare-parts delivery, and new business models, such as comprehensive tooling management, helps component manufacturers grow market share. Innovating with new digital value-added services that span multiple channels, distributors, and customers helps reduce costs, improve compliance, and maximize revenue.
