Background
Given that providing a critical commodity such as electricity affects the lives of citizens and livelihoods of businesses, the client needed end-to-end visibility into its supply chain—from its factory to storage sites to tower locations.
Challenges
The company’s factory, storage sites and tower locations were spread over a huge geographical area. Throughout the enterprise, multiple subcontractors were used and a wide variety of materials was handled. Materials moved through the sites without transparency, leading to deficient demand planning and an inefficient supply chain. The challenges have been listed below:
- The factory lacked the ability to track production status, material coding and storage, bundling and kitting status, dispatches and actual versus planned dispatches.
- The storage sites didn’t know the number of full towers, dispatch status, where to store and how to reconcile records to ensure accuracy.
- The tower locations were coming up short in determining where its materials were located, how much stock was available in storage and whether it had received all its requested merchandise.
