Are you a candidate for Material Demand Aggregation?

If you outsource finished parts or assemblies, and you’re not systematically tracking the materials that go into them, or influencing where and how those materials are purchased and processed, then you are not in control of the cost of your finished parts. You can also be certain that your finished parts are costing you more than they should.

If you don’t maintain visibility and control over the cost of finished-part bills of material, your sub-tier supplier finished-part material COSTS are surely compromising your profitability AND the efficiency of your strategic sourcing process.

The Solution: Material Demand Aggregation by Supply Dynamics

• Have you outsourced all or some of your finished part requirements and no longer enjoy the visibility and control over material-input cost that you once did?
• Do you want to increase control and visibility over material-input cost and service levels at your sites and sub-tier suppliers?
• Are you an OEM or OEM sub-tier supplier with multiple sites in a variety of geographic locations struggling with the ABSENCE of one common MRP or ERP system for forecasting and managing common material inputs?
• Are you purchasing certain materials from a sole source and are frustrated with high prices and poor service levels?
• Do you have surplus, excess or obsolete material-input inventories but no effective means of identifying customers for that material?
• Are material-inputs the root cause of missed finished part deliveries and production delays?
• Are you frustrated by lengthy material-input lead times and erratic, uncontrolled material input prices?

If you answered yes to one or more of the questions above, Material Demand Aggregation is the solution you’re looking for.
