Build your supply chain on the cloud
Move from reactive to predictive operations with Supply Chain Management, a cloud-based solution allowing you to work wherever your business takes you and across all devices.
Control product master data
The product information management solution provides organizations a shared and singular version of truth for all item master data. Implement an organized and structured method for handling product changes to reduce delays in product development and introduction and go-to-market faster.
Connect data across the organization
Infuse your planning process with supply chain, sales, and marketing pipeline data to improve demand forecasting so that you can make smarter, better decisions about the future. Seamlessly integrate with other Microsoft applications.
Minimize excess and aged inventory
Create accurate demand forecasts to plan the right inventory volumes and automate raw materials orders, ensuring just-in-time delivery and reducing inventory and raw material carrying costs.
Ensure product availability
Gain insights into product availability and trends to prevent stock-outs and ensure you always have the right inventory in stock to meet customer needs. Get a global view of inventory across legal entities and multiple locations.
Consistently deliver high quality and service
Improve product testing and the management of nonconforming material to help guarantee a high level of product quality. Enhance and automate outbound processes to boost time from order to delivery.
Improve visibility of future demand
Create intelligent, data-driven forecasts, and create measurements of forecast accuracy and adjust forecast as needed. Leverage insights and intelligent tools to optimize short- and long-term resource and capacity requirements.
Use statistical forecasts and what-if analysis
Utilize various statistical methods to create a baseline demand forecast based on historical data for warehouses, customer groups, items, customer accounts, countries, regions, and states. Explore the impact of potential changes in plan inputs to better equip yourself to combat changes and disruptions.
Leverage machine learning for more accurate forecasting
Machine learning continually senses changes in observed variables, works to identify new variables that impact forecast accuracy, automatically uses logic to update the forecast as data is collected, and iteratively learns how to improve the demand forecasting process.
Use the production control solution
Supply Chain Management’s production control solution handles every step in the production lifecycle, providing deep integration required to facilitate information flow that modern manufacturing demands to enable efficient production of products.
Build smarter factories using AI
Create a connected factory with sustainable and adaptable manufacturing processes to accelerate product innovation and time-to-market. Use lean manufacturing strategies in a unified manufacturing environment to combine various supply, production, and sourcing strategies.
Leverage insights from IoT data
Improve throughput, quality, and uptime by using the Sensor Data Intelligence add-in. Gather insights from the sensors on the factory floor to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and enable near real-time visibility of process performance.
Utilize pre-configured warehouse processes
Supply Chain Management is robust enough to handle all core warehouse processes but adaptable enough to be customized for more complex supply chains with advanced processing requirements.
Keep your warehouse running continuously
Easily scale and maintain operations 24-hours a day throughout peak processing times and keep critical warehouse processes running at high throughput. Ensure business continuity in remote locations even when disconnected from the cloud.
Gain granular visibility into operations
Optimize warehouse processes by improving the granularity and availability of data into functions. Embedded Power BI analytics provide real-time data about the health of your warehouse.
Perform maintenance using real-time data
Use IoT and mixed reality to perform predictive maintenance based on real-time data so you can extend the life and performance of your assets. Effectively manage your assets with all types of maintenance—predictive, corrective, condition, and preventative.
Make strategic data-driven decisions
Improve managers’ access to high-quality and contextual cost data. Automate and streamline standard management reporting processes, such as inventory statements and inventory aging, and track key performance metrics.
Drive cost optimization with Power BI
Leverage embedded Power BI dashboards for viewing the status of inventories or perform cost analysis by product or product family. Detect trends in valuation of inventories, and empower managers to take actions to drive improvements.
