A strategic valueThe strategic value of multilevel supply chain![]() A screeshot of MaNeM software Today more than ever the Italian manufacturing system is looking for increasing competitiveness and a keystone is certainly the need for the companies to be part of a network, to increase the system efficiency. First of all, to be in a computer network means to integrate the production chain so that business information (orders, stocks, invoices ...) can be available and shared by the various actors. But this can still be not enough if the integration level concerns only the first supply level. Therefore, it is necessary to find technologies and modes allowing to monitor all components of the production chain, as well as tools measuring logistic efficiency, with the aim to find where inefficiencies occur and thus obtain value-added for everybody. Within this scope, MaNeM (Manufacturing Network Manager), our solution to manage supply chains, goes beyond the first chain level, because it allows a company to optimize the management of its sub suppliers without interfering with the administrative relationship between suppliers and sub suppliers. The articles in Joinet NEWS section are dedicated to this subject. Enjoy the reading! Fabio Rossi - CEO, Joinet S.r.l. |
