Supply Chain Management

By improving the efficiency of their supply chain operations, companies can reduce costs, improve margins, strengthen customer service, and enhance their competitiveness. However, it is now increasingly recognized that an efficient supply chain is also a Green supply chain.

Infor SCM helps companies optimize resource usage, product distribution, and service quality. At the same time, this solution supports their efforts to go Green, helping them minimize fuel usage, reduce carbon emission, and lessen waste.

With Infor SCM, you can:

• Measure the carbon emissions of your distribution supply chain and optimize your transportation network to reduce fuel usage and carbon footprint.
• Use carbon miles or footprint calculation in trade-off analysis, helping you understand what is required to achieve a reduction in emissions.
• Improve scheduling of manufacturing facilities to minimize waste and reduce number of changeovers to keep machinery operating at optimum energy efficiency.
• Use forecasting tools and reports to accurately predict—and help shape—customer demand to minimize excess inventory, which in turn reduces waste and obsolescence.
• Evaluate energy use, carbon miles, and waste as part of multi-plant sourcing analysis, and evaluate supplier environmental stewardship when determining sourcing priorities.

Infor SCM helps you effectively manage even the most complex supply chains in a manner that also helps support your Green initiatives.
