Extend asset life cycle length
Improve asset care to help your organization extend asset life cycle length and maximize the overall return from the investment, increasing overall value chain profitability.
Reduce costly machine downtime
Proactively manage business-critical equipment by performing all types of maintenance, including predictive, corrective, condition-based, and preventative. Streamline and automate maintenance schedules, and send scenario-driven alerts based on preventative maintenance plans and checklists.
Leverage insights from IoT data
Use the Sensor Data Intelligence Add-in for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to ingest parametric data and sensor telemetry via Azure IoT Hub, and provide contextual visualization and alerts across quality, production, and maintenance scenarios.
Improve data collection
Save employees valuable time by eliminating the need to manually collect process data, improving the accuracy and timeliness of the data you collect while lowering costs. Go paperless by enabling IoT sensors to automate data collection.
Remotely monitor production
Set up push notifications to employees in real-time when production is behind scheduled supply plans or when specifications are outside of quality standards.
Increase machine uptime
Automate notifications and requests for maintenance when production equipment stops during a scheduled run and reduce costly downtime of business-critical equipment by performing predictive maintenance before disruptive failure occurs.
Control product master data
Define, standardize, and distribute product definitions, product masters, and variants across the enterprise. Digitize and optimize the creation, maintenance, and easy shared access to the product catalog.
Improve product quality and time-to-market
Establish consistent and comprehensive product master data, enabling your business to standardize product quality based on a single version of truth and eliminate data silos.
Drive positive customer experiences
Make it simple for data and analytic leaders to support positive customer experiences in a complex multi-channel environment by providing easy access to required product information and details.
Streamline planning and execution
Optimize planning by letting the scheduling engine locate the right resources for jobs based on real-time capacity constraints. Then use visual scheduling to mind material availability and optimize the tactical plan.
Resource management
Define facilities, work locations, tools, machines, and human resources quickly and easily. Create production orders, schedule production, check capacity planning, and maintain a single source of truth to guide production decisions.
Satisfy customer demand for products
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.
Enable vendor collaboration
Streamline and optimize the procurement processes by using a single application to seamlessly collaborate with vendors, manage contracts, onboard them, and monitor performance like on-time delivery and quality.
Secure optimal pricing
Negotiate the best price for raw materials and outsourced products based on intelligent insights from supplier performance, spend analysis, lead times, and the competitive landscape.
Build resilient supplier networks
Ensure business continuity by building redundancy in the supplier network with a fast and sophisticated supplier qualification process to overcome disruptions. Accelerate the procurement of direct and indirect supplies by integrating in real-time with vendor catalogs.
Automate warehouse operations
Optimize warehouse operations, material handling, workforce planning, and inventory flow with integrated warehouse management. Track performance with configurable dashboards and improve productivity with the mobile app.
Configure to purpose
Configure warehouse management to your specific business needs, whether you require standard receive, store, pick, pack, ship in a single warehouse or have multiple warehouses, each requiring a mixture of pick strategies, 3PL transportation, wave planning, and complex cross-docking.
Reduce warehouse cost
Automate inventory movement, transactions, and warehouse planning tasks while synchronizing labor and material handling equipment to minimize distance traveled and reduce overall operational costs.
