To avoid bottlenecks, it is important to know one's own supply chain down to the last link and to create the necessary transparency. The wayCloud Platform is a web-based SaaS platform that connects the often heterogeneous system landscapes of all partners along the entire supply chain via simple interfaces. It can be used in companies of all sizes: corporations, but also small and medium-sized companies in particular, can use the Connected Chain Manager to connect any number of suppliers and thus visualize the complete supply network with all relevant parameters (e.g. lead times, bill of materials information, delivery times, etc.). The Cloud Platform offers different apps depending on the use case:
- Collaboration lists, e.g. for contract manufacturers, extended workbench or suppliers.
- Project management, e.g. for sharing project plans
- capacity alignment
- Network modeling
- risk monitoring (optional)
- automatic rough-cut planning and sequence optimization
- Demand planning (sharing of demand plans and/or automatic, AI-based forecasts)
- Disposition data optimization (determination of production lot sizes, reorder points, ABC/XYZ classification)
Using Examples:
The integration of suppliers and contract manufacturers allows, for example, the quantities, production sequence and targeted prioritizations of critical orders to be transmitted to the external partner without effort. Thanks to bidirectional communication, feedback, deviations and changes can be communicated as quickly as possible.
In project-driven business, for example in plant engineering, there are many dependencies, for example, because conditions must be met at the customer's site for assembly. The Projects app, on the other hand, offers a convenient way to share project plans (from MS Project or the multi-project planning system wayPRO) and to communicate activities and milestones.
