Supply networks

Supply networks enable you to build cross-tier reporting and track stocks and coverages across the supply chain. Connect and interact with multiple companies across your supply chains. As a result, you'll achieve maximum visibility and identify risks even earlier. The supply network consists of 7 tabs:

  1. Supply network scope  Here you define the scope of the selected supply network on material level. You can add or remove materials individually.

  2. Network visualization  The supply network visualization provides you a graphical overview of the existing sites of all business partners and their concerned supply relations.

  3. Risks  Here you can see current risks notifications for your sites, which can cause a future bottleneck.

  4. Node parameter  In the Node parameters tab, you can define individual target values for the stock range at material level. These are explicitly used only for the calculation of the respective supply network.

  5. Edge parameter  In the Edge parameters tab, you can define individual values for the lead times at material level. These are explicitly used only for the calculation of the respective delivery network.

  6. Chain coverage overview  In the chain coverage overview, you track the stock range and primary demand risk KPIs of all supply relations marked as critical paths. This view is particularly useful for coordination during supply bottlenecks. Comments with possible countermeasures can also be stored for each supply relation.

  7. Chain coverage  In the chain coverage you track the stock range and primary demand risk KPIs of all supply relations.
