Supply Chain Orders
M3 Supply Chain Orders simplify the management of complex supply chains
Lawson M3 Supply Chain Orders provides a powerful tool for linking all parts of an order network together. The solution is especially useful in a make-to-order environment and complements lean manufacturing strategies. Supply chain orders automate the process of making changes to order networks and provide the ability to enquire on the status of a linked order chain and whether the current delivery terms can be met. They provide customer-focused businesses the opportunity to integrate and manage their end-to-end supply chain processes.
Supply chain orders bring simplification to the planning process, giving visibility and tracking of entire order networks, and enabling planners to see the effects of schedule or delivery changes and to concentrate on critical issues.
They enable the automatic generation of the supply chain and can also automate changes in quantities. Certain changes can be made to dates down the order network to lower-level supply orders. They can also co-exist with traditional MRP planning and forecasting.
Supply Chain Orders give companies the ability to use existing stock correctly, therefore reducing stock buffers and throughput times. In complex supply chains where different planning rules apply in different parts of that supply chain, multiple supply chain orders can be used to link these together.
Benefits
