Supply chain management,
ERP and capacity requirement planning
Need to identify technology tools to perform
supply
chain management, SCM, SCEM, demand
planning, and supply chain activities? Our SCM-consultants
are here to help you!
Supply
chain management (SCM) issues
Supply chain management will address the following issues:
- Excessive inventory in supply chain distribution channels
causing a major money loss
- Continuous supply chain short falls of key component
affecting order fulfilment and delivery time
- Incomplete planning system (no demand planning) hiding
supply chain inconsistencies
- Demand planning and supply chain event management procedures
performed by primitive Excel spreadsheets
- Lack of spreadsheets synchronisation causing SCM and
SCEM errors
- Time consuming attempts to manually update situation
portrayed by these spreadsheets to register supply chain
changes
- Lengthy demand planning and supply chain event management
procedures
- High demand of manpower resources to manually perform
SCM and SCEM activities
- Rapidly changing products propagating along the entire
supply chain
- No central repository data for demand planning
- No automatic demand planning signals sent to Purchasing
and/or manufacturing department
- Lack of SCM, SCEM, and demand planning knowledge in
the organisation
- Lack of forecasting approach

Supply
chain management action plan
SCMERP-Abbate would tackle SCM and SCEM issues an:
- Analyse current state situation of supply chain
- Get the right team members involved in a SCM/SCEM project
- Perform need assessment for SCM, SCEM, and demand planning
- Leverage past legacy applications and supply chain implementations
to accelerate demand planning process
- Follow implementation and assess risks connected with
SCM project milestones
- Identify best available technology to implement a supply
chain management system
Demand
planning
Demand planning implementation solves most of corporate forecast
issues and leverages SCM and SCEM by:
- Providing a centrally managed platform to control supply
chain and supply chain event management activities
- Transforming a production-driven company into a demand-driven
one
- Delivering accuracy to demand planning activities, thus
making control on SCM and SCEM much more effective
- Reducing supply chain and demand planning cycles
- Helping in finding errors and cleaning data, which could
affect supply chain management
SCMERP-Abbate consultants know the ins and outs of demand
planning.
Supply chain confidence and risks
SCMERP-Abbate's supply chain management consultants have to
manage risks in implementing supply chain management architecture.
Supply chain risks come in different forms:
- Huge financial risks, stemming out of mismanaged supply
chain systems and poor SCEM
- Chaos risks, coming from supply chain complexity and
market uncertainty
- Change management risks, not allowing SCM and SCEM to
leverage profits, and hindering demand planning
- Decision risks, affecting SCM, SCEM and demand planning
- Market risks, impacting upon market opportunities (can
your demand planning system face with supply chain management
challenges posed by markets?)
- Competence risk, affecting general efficiency of supply
chain and decision process in terms of demand planning
and supply chain event management
If you do not have confidence in:
- Order cycle time and order status
- Demand planning forecast
- Supply chain delivery
- Manufacturing capacity
- Quality of the products
- Services delivered along your supply chain
then it's time to tackle supply chain management issues with
the help of SCMERP-Abbate consultants.
Supply chain performance management
Supply
chain management means optimising the supply chain as
a whole and avoid focusing too much on details.
Experts do make errors, like:
- Focusing on portions of supply chain process and sub-optimising
the whole. A SCM tactical response should not be an uncoordinated
one
- Identifying the "right things" and addressing them in
serial and unbalanced way. These are SCM/SCEM examples
which created confusion and damaged supply chain confidence
- Focusing on SCM right things, but in a very static and
inflexible way, until they become the wrong things (millions
spent in expanding product ranges which were about to
become old-fashioned are clear example of mismanaged supply
chain management)
SCMERP-Abbate consultants operate with an adaptive approach.
SCM/SCEM with a look upon innovation is our creed: we set
SCM goals, address root causes, and spot competitive opportunities.
Supply
chain management must be performance driven, within a
supply chain performance management cycle, where:
- We understand SCM/SCEM issues and alternatives
- Act on high supply chain impact problems and opportunities
- Identify supply chain performances
- Validate SCM data, processes, and actions
Supply chain event management (SCEM)
Supply Chain Event Management evolved as an extension of supply
chain control. Organisations manage their supply chain processes
with demand planning. But even best plans can be interrupted
by the unexpected.
In just-in-time manufacturing era, companies quickly discover
not enough raw materials or finished products exist to fill
orders. Demand planning was correct, but then something wrong
happened along the supply chain. Spare time must be shortly
found to procure more supplies and make more products within
client delivery requirements.
Add to the supply chain complexity other product launches
in multiple markets for numerous customers, and process breakdown
becomes a snowball expanding in size, gaining speed, and disrupting
all demand planning assumptions. SCEM software enables companies
to respond rapidly and sometimes automatically to unplanned
supply chain events - without having to completely regenerate
SCM plans.
SCEM applications notifies supply chain managers when specific
"events" occur, e.g., when inventories are depleted, shipments
delayed, etc. Data that represent exceptions from plan are
normally portrayed as supply chain critical points. Often
timely automated responses can resolve these issues promptly,
but in all cases supply chain managers have the opportunity
to analyse problems and determine solutions.
SCMERP-Abbate consultants provide you with the invaluable
help of selecting supply chain event management technology
and customising it according to your needs.
