Today's manufacturing supply chain is challenged with increasing quality mandates, cost pressures, and delivery improvements. Technology plays a key role in a company's ability to build and manage an effective supply chain.
This paper describes the next wave of cloud-based supply chain solutions, including supplier Kanban Loops that automatically create an electronic pull loop that generates pull signals when parts or materials are needed. The paper also includes an example of how one manufacturer reduces cost, lead times and inventories throughout their entire supply chain using this innovative solution.
