Supply Chain Collaboration Overview
Our understanding…
Globalisation has brought with it enormous benefits by opening new markets and sources of supply for agile and innovative companies, regardless of where they are headquartered. But achieving success while maintaining flexibility, service delivery, and cost efficiency has required companies to outsource manufacturing operations as well as many internal planning functions.
A revolutionary approach…
SAP Ariba is revolutionary in supporting multiple supply chain collaboration processes over the world’s largest business-tobusiness (B2B) network – Ariba Network. Companies gain access to a single, cloud-based solution to collaborate effectively with multiple tiers of suppliers and trading partners in direct materials procurement, regardless of industry and enterprise resource planning (ERP) back-end. All the highly complex demand planning, material requirements planning (MRP), and associated changes remain in the companies’ ERP and planning system, and these are digitally shared with suppliers – live and in real time.
