Business Challenge: Improve Supply Chain Integration
Infosys improves Supply Chain integration and efficiency by using technology to connect the value chain and enable seamless data flow.
Business Need
- As automotive companies spread their supply and demand chains globally; risks can multiply as the complexity grows.
- OEMs are entrusting more responsibilities to their suppliers. However, in the absence of a proper communication and collaboration mechanism, information does not flow readily between the OEM and the supplier. Instances of supply chain failure, and consequently, commercial failures, are rising due to a lack of communication on key issues.
- The automakers' own footprints are spread across geographies leading to information asymmetry, which is further exacerbated by the multitude of systems used by departments or business units. Often, OEMs are found wanting in getting the right product to the right market at the right time.
An increasingly inclusive supply and demand chain means that partners require engineering assistance and process support to achieve seamless integration and maximum efficiency.
