We examine integration, interoperability, and extending supply chain networks. Then we compare enterprise applications vs. integrator networks vs. Real-time SVoT networks.
Supply Chain Networks
Solution connecting multiple organizations into a network. Differentiated from B2B networks in that supply chain networks provide significant functionality running in the network, beyond just inter-enterprise messaging.
Direct Materials P2P — Part Three: Receiving, Invoicing, Payment
Supply Chain Networks Revealed — Part 2B: Comparison of Supply Chain Network Technologies
Supply Chain Networks Revealed: Origins and Architectures of Supply Chain Networks — Part 2A
Here we discuss the origins and architecture of the two major types of supply chain networks: 1) Integrator Networks, and 2) Real-time SVoT Networks. As well, we explore the challenges of master data management for a supply chain network.
Supply Chain Networks Revealed: What They Do — Part 1B
Here we take a process-centric view of supply chain networks and show how they support end-to-end demand through fulfillment. This includes an example of how network-wide optimization can be accomplished.
Supply Chain Networks Revealed: What They Do – Part 1A
There are various ways in which solution providers attempt to address the multi-party network challenge. We present a quick overview of the basic approaches offered in the supply-chain market today.
Agile Demand – Supply Alignment – Part 3C: Solution Assessments
Here we assess E2open, the largest pure cloud supply chain solution provider. E2open has acquired many ADSA-relevant best-of-breed applications such as multi-tier supplier and outsourced manufacturing management, transportation and logistics, global trade management, demand sensing, S&OP/business planning, and multi-tier channel management.
Supply Chain Orchestration: Part Three
A major automotive OEM buys steel for its entire supply base. In the process, it has been able to rationalize the materials specifications for all of that steel, resulting in consolidated spend, more efficient use of inventory, and more flexibility.
Analytics Advantage – Part 1A: Democratization
We explore the kinds of data being produced by transportation and logistics systems, how that data can be used to create a data-driven enterprise, and the substantial obstacles to achieving an analytic advantage.
Solving Multi-Enterprise Challenges With Supply-Chain Application Networks
Supply Chain Application Networks provide more than just multi-enterprise messaging and supply chain visibility. Multi-enterprise planning and execution functionality is built into these networks, in areas such as transportation, sourcing and procurement, demand collaboration, and outsourced production management.
Generating Value Through Predictive Maintenance – Part Four: Driving Business Model Evolution for Product Manufacturers
Predictive maintenance can play a key role in a business’s transformation to servitization and an outcome-based business model.
