Help your supply chain live long & prosper.
Defend your ability to deliver
You’re on a critical mission. Your ability to deliver to your customers hinges on coordinating an extremely complex supply chain burdened by materials shortages, long lead times, and increasing costs of components. Any further supply chain disruptions risk your ability to ramp up production, endangering your reputation and your ability to secure new contracts. Prevent your supply chain from stalling by digitizing your processes with Kinaxis.
Unleash your supply chain’s full potential
Hitting mission critical delivery dates is paramount. Kinaxis enables you to quickly spot shortages and proactively simulate the best course of action to get alternate sources of supply. That way, you can get products off the backlog and onto the runway.
When you have a component shortage or an engineering change to a part, it can be difficult to connect their impact to specific upper-level orders. Kinaxis helps you manage revisions to BOMs, see the impact on orders, and peg down into component supplies to detect where the problem is and how to solve it.
Planning for various programs with distinct supply requirements can be as frustrating as solving a jigsaw puzzle with the wrong pieces. Highly adaptable inventory control rules allow you to sort these puzzle pieces by grouping supply into distinct channels, tagging attributes, and dipping into wider supply pools during shortages to reduce spend.
Managing disruptions in your supply chain requires knowing the risk profiles of your n-tier suppliers. Kinaxis expands your visibility across your multi-tier network, enabling proactive risk detection and helping you coordinate with essential suppliers to resolve issues quickly.
