Procurement in sync with needs - optimised dates for suppliers and fewer missing parts

The company is optimised with FELIOS so that preliminary areas in the process chain can be automatically synchronised with the current requirements and capacity situation on the basis of existing data. One of the basis functions of FELIOS is the simultaneous integration of purchasing and procurement in the planning concept.

Thanks to procurement in sync with needs through FELIOS, the company can always determine which materials will be needed earlier, later or no longer on account of any malfunctions or changes that have occurred. Everyone is spared the constant deadline meetings in the company, and costly meetings can focus on more important matters.

FELIOS – early warning system for purchasing

FELIOS determines suitable target requirements dates during optimisation that correspond to the actual manufacturing capacities and processing progress. Thanks to daily updated information, purchasing and procurement can identify imminent shortages much earlier with FELIOS. The FELIOS technology drastically increases transparency for purchasing and procurement so that realistic target requirements dates can still be determined even with inexact replenishment lead times. Thanks to scheduling based on customer order networks, a multi-level proof of usage can immediately be generated through to the customer orders with a multiple usage of purchased parts.

The support from FELIOS permanently improves communication with suppliers and external manufacturers. Missing parts in production and assembly are thus prevented at an early date and stocks can be constantly reduced.
