Lead Time Update

Challenges

  • Vendors were extending the lead time for a product and this information was not getting stored within ERP
  • No way for vendors to access system and update lead time data
  • If the changes were severe they needed to be approved or re-negotiated, and this process was time consuming with no central storage

Benefits

  • Composite Application which allows Vendors to easily upload a spreadsheet of all lead time changes into one central place
  • An automated process checks the updates against various rules and updates ERP with the new information
  • If any of the rules are broken a manager can easily log on and view all items which broke the rules
  • Negotiation process is handled quickly and changes can be put into the ERP system
