Supply Chain IntegrationCoordinationReconciliation, integration and coordination of the activities of the companies involved in the supply chain are now added to the optimized planning of the supply chain. These functions are covered by the coordination integration area.
Supply chain event management maps all the detailed process stages within the supply chain, monitors all processes and activities and reports any deviations (such as delays in production and delivery), estimates the length of the delay and defines the measures to be taken. In doing so, the system integrates all business partners involved in this process to develop an alternative strategy to alleviate the bottleneck.
Additional warning messages are generated in supply chain performance management. These messages are based on the integration of defined key performance indicators (KPIs), which are created individually and can provide information about costs, efficiency and resources.
Customer relationship management (CRM) and order processing within supply chain management are connected by fulfilment coordination. This initiates, integrates, coordinates and controls the activities that result from a customer order and can calculate the workload for warehousing, transportation and logistics irrespective of whether these are processed internally or externally.
