Supplier Capacity

OVERVIEW

In the modern manufacturing company, the supply chain is a strategic function where certain types of supplies have a direct impact on the financial results. These strategic partners require special attention and must be considered an integral part of the value chain.

BUSINESS CASE

A leading automotive company asked Bitia to implement a solution to detect alerts resulting from the analysis of suppliers’ capacities VS. production plant requirements.

SOLUTIONS AND BUSINESS VALUE

Bitia has developed a web solution that, by interfacing the customer’s SAP and other legacy systems, imports the requirements of the production plants and compares them with the supply relationships to generate the appropriate alerts in case the requirements exceed the supplier’s capacity. The system is also used to check whether the supply relationships defined during contract negotiations with the supplier have actually been signed in order to anticipate any disputes in the event that the supplier has not fulfilled the contractual agreements in terms of declared production capacity.
