Infor SCM (Supply Chain Management) for Manufacturing
Achieving operational excellence from concept to customer.
Globalization. Market volatility. Demanding customers. Accelerated product innovation. Increasing cost pressures. The challenges for manufacturers multiply every day. To be at the top of your game, you must be able to synchronize your global supply chain from initial design to final delivery—from concept to customer.
Infor SCM for Manufacturing is specifically designed to fit the requirements of a wide variety of manufacturing industries from high-volume, repetitive process environments to complex, order-driven discrete/assembly environments. At Infor, we don’t assume that the planning and scheduling solutions that produce stellar results for one type of manufacturer will work for another. Nor do we assume that all manufacturers have identical transportation and warehouse management needs. Our business-specific supply chain planning and execution solutions address your unique challenges, leading to improved forecasts, tighter collaboration with customers and suppliers, increased manufacturing agility, better customer service—and ultimately greater profitability.
Infor’s supply chain management solutions for manufacturing help you:
- Improve order fulfillment by synchronizing all manufacturing resources
- Increase asset utilization and minimize waste
- Improve throughput and shorten cycle times
- Optimize the sequencing and scheduling of work through the factory
- Decrease work in process and finished goods inventories
- Support a global sales and operations planning process
