The onset of the COVID pandemic in 2020 hit the Original Equipment Manufacturing industry\u00a0very hard, with supply of global components and raw materials being seriously impacted. The volatility around both demand and supply was evident for many manufacturers.<\/p>\n

For example, the global semiconductor shortage in 2020, where huge consumer demand for products as varied as cars to smartphones, led to a massive shortage in supplies. Businesses requiring these parts had production all but ground to a halt.<\/p>\n

While the initial effects of the pandemic have faded away, its\u00a0presence can still be felt in 2023. Some of the challenges we see relate directly to the inflexibility of existing processes to cope with changes in the operating environment and\u00a0the lack of visibility of demand and supply networks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t

MAKE MORE WITH LESS<\/h2>\n\t

While difficult with growing consumer demand, process redesign can result in product redesign with less material being required.<\/p> \t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

AUTOMATE PROCESSES<\/h2>\n\t

Automation can provide you with the data required to mitigate risks to your upstream and downstream supply chains and your factory operations.<\/p> \t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t

The scope of the upgrade included: Finance, Supply Chain, Production, Inventory and Warehouse management.\u200b
\u200b
The deployment of the standard finance features included:

\u2014 MTD (Making Tax Digital), providing a standard approach\u200b
\u2014 Improvements and transitioning trading document designs to Microsoft Dynamics 365.\u200b
\u2014 Interfaces and various modifications to enhance intercompany operations such as a link to a company used to store a large number of components. \u200b
\u2014 Migration of significant quantities of data to enable trading to continue seamlessly.<\/p> \t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\t

RESULTS<\/h2>\n\t

The company were confident all of their challenges were solved, and they could now deliver more product, for less cost and faster for their customers.\u00a0
\u2014 Inventory was reduced by 33%\u200b.
