How can Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management help manufacturers reduce operational costs?

Operations visibility

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (SCM) connects processes across sales, purchasing, logistics, production, and warehousing to provide comprehensive visibility. This integration helps organizations gather and centralize supply chain data, enabling manufacturers to improve communication between production, sales, and logistics.

By consolidating data, organizations can not only gain visibility into business operations, but also optimize order fulfilment, automate processes, and reduce costs.

Create agile manufacturing process

Dynamics 365 supply chain management discrete, process and lean manufacturing system with various production strategies. This enables organizations in Europe to optimize their manufacturing process based on various manufacturing needs with the support of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and automation.

By supporting these manufacturing strategies, D365 SCM can optimize the production process, improve product quality, increase production efficiency, and reduce operational costs.

Create Connected Factory

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (SCM) enables manufacturers to create a connected factory by linking all aspects of production processes. It effectively integrates technologies such as IoT sensors, cloud storage, and data analytics.

The solution gathers real-time data from IoT devices and sensors on equipment and the production floor. Using advanced analytics and AI, manufacturers can unlock data, enabling them to forecast trends, optimize production planning, and improve overall operational efficiency.

D365 SCM provides a real time view of manufacturing processes. The live visibility into the production floor and machines allows organizations to eliminate costly downtime, increase throughput, enhance employee efficiency, and more.

Integration with MES systems

The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) helps manufacturers manage their unique manufacturing requirements. Integration of third-party MES with Dynamics 365 SCM allows organizations to meet advanced manufacturing needs.

It provides improved visibility of manufacturing process by combining data across Dynamics 365 SCM and MES. Data flow between systems is automated and thus eliminates the need for manual data entry.

MES systems work on huge amounts of data to provide insights that can help improve manufacturing efficiency and operational costs. The integration helps improve product quality, increase uptime, enhance proper management of inventory, and improve product tracking.

There are many other aspects that help enhance manufacturing efficiency with Dynamics 365 supply chain Europe. These include:

  • Efficient supply chain planning
  • Inventory management
  • Procurement and sourcing
  • Vendor management
  • Order fulfilment on-time
  • Warehouse management
  • Asset management

With all these processes covered efficiently, European manufacturers using Dynamics 365 can gain significant benefits.
