When to use SUMI

• You want to lower inventory cost but feel that you don’t have enough real-time information to take the risk of running out of stock.
• You have multiple factories buying the same products, and you wish to have a consolidated view of the situation.
• You acquire a company and want to integrate it quickly onto your business processes.
• Your teams spend a lot of time gathering and understanding the stock and planning situation, not only at your plants, but also at your suppliers.
• You want to compare how well your suppliers operate with you. Who are performing, and who of them aren’t.

Benefits of using SUMI

• When you use our software, you increase the quality of your planning, order and shipment data as well as the discipline of people participating in the process. In fact, it also increases the reliability of the automatic data in your ERP since there are several checks performed on it by our software.
• With your business processes now visualised and measured, our solution helps you track what works and what doesn't. You can check how your supply chain has performed over time.
• Once you know the weak spots, you can take corrective measures: Adjust planning boundaries, ask a supplier with weak performance to improve, or assist people in adapting change.

Results

• Reduce working capital. If you manage to reduce your working capital by USD 100m, with a 7% Weighted work of capital, you save USD 7m.
• Tear down the silos between internal teams (factories, sourcing, procurement, sales etc.)
• Use all information at the tap of a button. All your teams collaborate and work on the same information source.
• Move up in process maturity - A transparent and well run business process allows suppliers to move up the maturity ladder. For example, moving to consigned inventory, daily planning resolution, self billing, self ordering.
• Production site backup. A clear set of established business processes, allows you to easily switch to a backup factory with no need to adjust the way of working.
• Plug and play supplier : Strengthens the ties with your suppliers in a win-win relationship. And, if required, reduces work load of phasing in or phasing out suppliers.
