Supply Chain Monitoring/Demand Capacity Planning

Do supply failures and shortages often come as a surprise to you? ICON Supply Chain Monitoring/Demand Capacity Planning helps you keep an eye on all relevant factors: The "helicopter perspective“ gives you a transparent overview over the whole value-creation chain (inventories, demands, capacities) and provides you with instant knowledge of where problems occur in your supply chain and when you need to act. A simple traffic-light signal helps to create a correlation between supply and demand.

Say a supplier is unable to deliver – in that case you will be informed at an early stage, giving you the possibility to take all necessary corrective measures. Automated exchange of information along the supply chain means increased flexibility, the ability to adjust capacities to medium and long-term demand as well as an elimination of unnecessary transport and warehousing costs and a contribution to reducing administrative workloads.

Many companies use ICON Supply Chain Monitoring/Demand Capacity Planning to ensure flawless exchange of information with their suppliers. However, this solution can be used across any number of levels within your complete supply chain, including collaboration with your customers. The ICON solution implements the Odette recommendations for Supply Chain Monitoring (short-term, operational coordination regarding the materials situation) and Demand Capacity Planning (medium to long-term capacity coordination). These recommendations are a recognized standard in the automotive industry.
