New paradigms in Supply chain planning

Due to the recent credit crisis and uncertainty in the global market, the supply chain business model is changing drastically. More often the planners are finding it extremely difficult to arrive at an optimized plan for supply chain operations. This reduces the flexibility of operations at downstream level resulting in either loss of business due to stock outs or huge inventory pile up. Traditionally supply chain planning is done either at a weekly level or daily level taking into account the current inventory picture and the latest demand on hand.  But more often there are quite number of changes happening either in terms of demand, supply situations, capacity due to machine break down, engineering changes, quality issues etc.  All these changes have to be made in the transaction (ERP systems) systems and there is a high latency factor before we can replan.  How do we react to these changes and quickly replan to ensure that latency factor due to ERP is minimized?

AIA – The future is here

Business transformation is one of the key needs for the large enterprises. The next generation packages are in making but not all enterprises may be able to move to these new packages. AIA can bridge this gap as it provides a standards based architecture.

AIA is a step to provide a best practice standard architecture. Typically in an enterprise context, Business and IT are two sides of same coin but AIA can make them work together smartly.
