SCG
Integrated management of manufacturing and the supply chain
The challenge
Production and supply chain data across many plants
A large manufacturing group runs production, inventory, procurement and distribution across many sites and business units, often on systems that developed separately. Planning depends on data held in several places, and every hand-off between plant, warehouse and supplier is an opportunity for delay or error.
Integrated manufacturing and supply chain management means bringing those processes and that data together while production continues without interruption.
Our approach
How InterCloud approaches an engagement of this kind
One business platform
Plans and actual figures are held in the same place. GlowScale brings manufacturing, inventory, procurement, sales and finance onto one data model.
Process design with the business
ERP consultants and business analysts work with plant and supply chain teams to design the process flows before the system is configured.
Integration with existing enterprise systems
Manual exports and re-keying are replaced by open REST APIs that connect plant systems, partner systems and corporate finance.
Supply chain visibility
Planners work from current data, with inventory, orders and deliveries across sites in one view.
Insights with InterCloud AI
Teams query information and identify exceptions sooner, with assistants and insights on top of the business data.
Cloud infrastructure on AWS
The platform is designed for availability across sites and business units, on containers and Terraform-managed environments.
Outcomes
What a program of this kind delivers
The type of results our integrated manufacturing programs are designed to achieve.
- Production, inventory and procurement working from the same data
- Fewer manual hand-offs between plants, warehouses and suppliers
- A current view across sites for planners and managers
- Finance figures that reconcile with operations at month end
- A platform that new plants and business units can join
- An engineering partner with an understanding of the group's processes
Manufacturing
A platform and a team shaped by delivered programs
GlowScale developed from the finance, inventory, manufacturing and procurement systems we delivered for large organizations. Manufacturing groups receive a platform shaped by that experience, and a team with knowledge of how plants, warehouses and head offices work together.
