In fact, the whole point of using AM on the shop floor is different from those using it for product design and development. The requirements that manufacturers need to meet are related to cost and leadtime, not lightweighting a component to improve fuel economy of a vehicle, for example.
All these companies have benefited from AM’s ability to fabricate complex geometries, reduce leadtimes, minimise waste, and enable mass customisation, thereby driving efficiency, fostering innovation, and enhancing customer satisfaction.
SupplyPoint solutions are capable to address this challenge by allowing its users to maintain the Minimum stock level /Critical stock levels to trigger requirements with leadtimes to the suppliers. However, the transition and adaptation of this technology is a current challenge that we face today.
If supply chain planning runs on outdated leadtimes, teams make the wrong calls. Just like materials must arrive on time, data must move at the speed of operations. When a supplier portal already holds accurate leadtimes, procurement shouldn’t have to key them into an ERP.
