No collaboration, excess inventories
Welcome to modern-day manufacturing: more outsourcing, more trading partners, more competition. And at the same time, less control, less cash, and shorter product life cycles. This combination of factors has quickly exposed the shortcomings of traditional inventory management programs. With limited to no connectivity across external suppliers, many enterprises today run the constant risk of revenue loss from stock outs or write offs. After all, suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors working in isolation have no clear view of how well the overall supply chain is performing—and consequently are unable to “sense and respond” to potential disruptions at neighboring locations.
Vendor-managed inventory for a demand-driven supply chain
Effective inventory management is incumbent upon the ability to see—and respond to—inventory movements and demand fluctuations in real time. Today’s best-in-class supply chains are successful because they provide all relevant parties with access to inventory information as it occurs, enabling companies to make time-sensitive decisions to improve demand fulfillment.
E2open offers the only production-proven solution capable of developing and managing a successful VMI program in partnership with your entire supply base. The solution provides any-to-any connectivity via a cloud-based platform, and enables automated execution of all VMI processes across suppliers, logistics providers and customers. It also assures a high level of product availability while maintaining lower inventory levels by synchronizing consumption and replenishment cycles.
