Importance of Evolving Supply Chain Management Solutions Shared by To-Increase
Supply chain management solution capabilities that empower Industrial Equipment Manufactures to adapt to changing market demands, detailed in new article and blog post.
Norwell, MA, March 29, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for discrete and industrial equipment manufacturing, details specific capabilities of the supply chain management software solutions it develops in a new blog post and upcoming article in Prime Magazine. Software solution capabilities To-Increase shares in both its blog post and upcoming article detail how Industrial Equipment Manufacturers (IEMs) can best adjust to new market demands of efficiency, despite the fact that many are working with reduced staff sizes.
"In the last two years, research by the Aberdeen Group indicates that the IEM industry has been among the hardest hit by our recent economic crisis," opens Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase, in his blog post The Importance of An Evolving Supply Chain Management Solution for IEMs. "As a result, many organizations have had to reduce staff headcount by as much as 12 percent to simply stay afloat."
Despite the negative market evolution Cunha cites, IEM organizations must handle the fact that customer service is the key differentiator they offer. And for IEM organizations, customer service involves managing the expectations of perhaps hundreds of thousands of customers, each demanding a piece of equipment that provides lasting value at lesser cost.
In laying out the fundamental customer service challenge faced by IEM organizations, Cunha cites the source article, Managing the Supply Chain from End to End, due for publication this month in Prime Magazine. In this article, author Rakesh Kumar, Global Industry Product Director, Microsoft Dynamics ERP, reveals how Microsoft Dynamics software solutions from To-Increase help transform IEM customer service challenges into opportunities.
Among the examples of supply chain management capabilities built into To-Increase solutions, as cited in Kumar's article:
· Tailored lifecycle and workflow management features
· Inventory management abilities that stretch across the supply chain
· Integration with existing CAD/CAM and product lifecycle management systems
"Of course, the strongest feature of all is rooted in the fact that the supply chain management solutions we develop evolve along with the needs of IEMs," concludes Cunha. "With the next release of Microsoft Dynamics AX on the horizon, we are already working to develop solutions that integrate business processes across the entire supply chain and support multiple business models. This will allow IEMs to drive higher quote to win ratios, make product configurations more easily, accelerate time to market, and satisfy the customer until the end of the product’s lifecycle."
