Planning and forecasting collaboration
High Tech OEMS need to constantly collaborate with suppliers on critical components, collecting confirmations to be able to create feasible plans for final assembly. Contract manufacturing collaboration Ability for Contract Manufacturers to respond back to the OEM with detailed updates on planned shipments of each finished product, production and supply status for each finished product, and supply status updates for product materials that are used in the assembly of a finished product. Material traceability High Tech companies are part of a complex value chain, and need to be able to track their product and components that are built-in. This is due to increasing regulatory obligations and demanding customer requirements. Examples: stopping or calling back end products after a problem with a component is detected; lock affected inventory in case of quality issues; finding the root cause of problems in end products, reported by the market; proving authenticity and genealogy of security relevant products. Additionally since High Tech OEMs need to be able to report the CO2 footprint of their products , component manufacturers will have to report their carbon data to all their OEMs. Semiconductors are part of every High Tech product and are very energy and resource intensive products. A consistent tracking and aggregation is key to fulfil these requirements and SAP Business Network Material Traceability and SAP Sustainability Footprint Management can track this today.
