In a rising economy, manufacturers find themselves in need of rapid innovation: a spike in demand ignites production, but customer orders invariably eclipse capacity due to bottlenecks of various kinds. ADI Strategies helps companies smooth out such supply chain turbulence by providing analytic solutions that give a window into the key data streams any given decision-maker needs. To stay ahead of the game, ADI's clients use analytic applications that complement existing supply chain platforms. ADI's solutions pull together only the data streams each decision-maker needs. Examples of such solutions include:

• Alert systems designed to inform managers when a particular machine or group of machines is nearing capacity; this usually indicates an imminent bottleneck which can then be avoided;
• Scoring models created to give insight into which suppliers are the most valuable, from either a cost perspective, loyalty, delivery record or other criteria;
• Forecasting solutions that let decision-makers create complex what-if scenarios showing the financial impact of various contingencies;
• Integrated applications that span multiple departments and organizations, providing one version of the truth.
