While most Supply Chain Planning (SCP) systems (Manugistics, i2, SAP) provide a wide range of valuable functionality, few are optimized for operational analysis. ADI Strategies builds solutions that give clients a clear window into their critical supply chain data, thus enabling true operational efficiency and informed financial management. We call this service Supply Chain Performance Management.
ADI offers two solutions: Supply Chain Analytics and Supply Chain Financial Management.
ADI's Supply Chain Analytics solutions allow users to focus directly on exception reporting; knowing which orders won't get filled and why. Most manufacturing planners are responsible for thousands of customer orders being met on a monthly basis. And, they only have time to worry about the problems. ADI's solution answers the following questions:
No supply chain system is perfect. Sooner or later, something won't get shipped or produced on time. Knowing which orders won't be filled and why gives decision-makers the information they need to address customer satisfaction issues while troubleshooting production or shipping-related problems.
Such solutions complement existing SCP systems by providing a greatly facilitated means for accessing specific streams and aggregations of data. The type of data shown to the user is exception data, focused on problems. Typically, these solutions do four things:
In most organizations, financial planning takes place separately from supply chain management. Numbers are shared perhaps once a month, sometimes never reconciled. ADI builds solutions that integrate supply chain planning systems with financial planning models, ensuring accuracy and timeliness of financial data even as business circumstances change.
Supply Chain Financial Management solutions provide a bridge between supply chain/manufacturing departments and financial planning teams. SCPM integrates these two previously disjointed processes, thus creating a single cohesive plan for the company.
