1. Common Management Platform

Issue

System must be tailored for each vendor in order to manage and consider differing requirements by product and global region.

Solution

Within a supply chain system, there are a myriad of vendors with differing order requirements(QTY, Lead time, Location). Monitoring and adjusting for each vendor can be tedious and time consuming. We solve this by providing a common Global Platform for management of demand and delivery communications.

  • Common System
    Based on your needs, we can provide a common platform for interchanging data on purchase order, forecast, shipment and invoice according to your preferred format (e.g. EDI, Web Based, Text).

  • Single Global Standard
    Common management tools provide the same standard anywhere in the world. So if you set up a plant in a new location with Nifast, we can provide the same IT management in the same quality.

Result

Single high quality management scheme
Our customers can effectively manage and control their supply on site, while at management level they can realize efficient controlled global expansion under one common communication partner.

2. Supply-Demand Forecasting

Issue

Forecasting system does not compensate for unexpected issues that can occur suddenly impacting product supply. (e.g. inventory loss and incorrect usage)

Solution

Conventionally product demand is sent to all vendors via Forecast. The vendor prepares supply based on this information. Any problems with information vs. actual demand can result in potential shortage, costly expedites, and excess inventory. Nifast’s proprietary system allows us to practice pro-active supply chain management by utilizing several data points in order to maintain consistent supply with minimal impact.

  • Proprietary Forecasting Module
    Our unique system utilizes usage history, per vehicle build volume information, regional lead time adjustment, and SOP and EOP triggers to calculate and confirm future anticipated requirement in order to ensure uninterrupted supply from Start of the program to build out.

  • Anomaly Detection
    In case of usage anomalies in forecasted volume, Nifast’s system will see the discrepancy, support demand utilizing our safety inventory if necessary and our staff will contact you immediately to clarify requirements and update correct information.

Result

Optimized amount, optimized timing, whenever you need
Our customers enjoy the benefits of managing slim inventory at their plant, without the need to manage over or under-stock, simply by providing their build volume and orders.
