Introduction and Key Business Drivers for CTB

Company Confidential

Economic volatility is highlighting new challenges to my Business


Top CEO Issues Can I align the Production of my Finished Goods to fluctuating Market Demand ? On which dates in the future could there be a disruption to our customer fulfillment ? Can I simulate varying Finished Goods Demand to check my responsiveness ? Can I have a dashboard that continuously monitors levels of future Finished Goods fulfillments ?

Need to ramp up / down to match changing market demand


Extending supply chains aimed at reducing costs and to penetrate new markets has resulted in complex Supply Networks and reduced agility to match demand swings

Extended Supply Chains

Fluctuating Demand

Implications Longer lead times Coordinate across continents Supplier networks may not be able to ramp up instantaneously to changing Demand Pin point exact root cause for fulfillment issues not easy

Implications Difficult to see to what extent Customer Demand can be fulfilled No easy tool to simulate supply plans in an outsourced manufacturing scenario Not sure of which critical component need urgent attention
