Supply Chain Management

Managing a supply chain is about more than planning and logistics. To drive greater efficiencies, today’s organisations need to use new technologies to get a better look at everyone across increasingly extended supply chains.

Supply Chain Management (SCM), formerly known as Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, is Microsoft’s enterprise-scale supply chain solution for operations leaders to transform their manufacturing and supply chain processes.

It provides a single source of business intelligence and uses predictive insights and intelligence from AI and Internet of Things (IoT) across planning, production, stock, warehouse, and transportation management to maximise operational efficiency, product quality, and profitability.

Supply Chain Management enables organisations to:

• Innovate with intelligent manufacturing operations – no matter the manufacturing process – discrete, lean, process, and mixed-mode, drive automation and reduce downtime using IoT intelligence. Perform production planning in real-time with Planning Optimisation Preview.
• Modernise warehouse management – Utilise machine learning enhanced guidance to resolve out of stock or overstock situations for more effective stock management.
