Recognize Opportunities of the Supply Chain Act through Planning Processes (German)
The Supply Chain Act requires much more than just bringing suppliers together. Risks and weak points along the supply chain must be uncovered. The measures derived from this with a comprehensive reporting system are necessary in order to act in accordance with the law.
The qualification management system, which improves supplier compliance, data accuracy and transparency, is fundamental. Intelligent supplier qualification management ensures that all suppliers who are directly and indirectly involved in the supply chain are qualified and certified. The day-long blockade of the Suez Canal by the container ship "Ever Given" made us aware that unexpected disruptions in the supply chains, financial flows and sales markets are the order of the day for globally operating companies.
"Need for Speed" is the challenge: "Know faster, adapt faster, act faster" become critical success factors. Global companies often lack a unified view of their end-to-end business plan with corporate strategy in mind.
The solution to this dilemma: Integrated Business Planning supported by a cloud-based IBP solution.
