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
