Network-Centric, Process Driven: Lower Costs, Supply Network Transformation

 
Narrowing down an initial list of 15 contenders through an extensive procurement process, Arrow targeted One Network. The solution's cost and quality, and One Network's personnel, were deciding factors.

Today's supply chain technology has simply reached its speed limit. You've built links to your partners' systems. You use manual or batch communications to relay data. But you can only move data just one link at a time along the chain. And it still takes manual intervention at each link to respond to demand signals and supply issues.

It's no wonder you've got latency at every step. And it's no wonder that replenishment lags demand.

One Network eliminates the latency - by eliminating the “chain.” As AMR says: “Your supply chain isn’t a chain at all; it’s a network, and it is time you stopped treating it any other way.” Start treating it as One Network.

Networked demand-driven replenishment gives you:

  • Shared network connectivity. We provide the infrastructure and web applications. You and your supply partners get real-time or near-real-time visibility to both supply and demand. Simultaneously, not days later. You control who sees what, based on their role in the replenishment process.
  • Real-time inventory and demand data. The One Network system gives you visibility to perpetual inventory in distribution centers and stores. It incorporates buyer forecasts. Then it monitors point of sale (POS) and RFID data throughout the day to present a true and accurate picture of actual inventory and demand.
  • Automatic demand-driven replenishment. The Intelligent Execution Manager (IXM) dynamically creates and adjusts orders based on this real-time demand. It considers inventory at every level in the value network. Then it uses your business rules to automatically replenish stores and distribution centers.
  • Integrated solutions. Processes for store order fulfillment inventory management / VMI, and inbound logistics are integrated as flexible, networked services. So you and your partners automatically respond to demand signals, with full knowledge of supply, transportation and other constraints.
