4. Supplier Schedule Report (SSR) – challenge
Case study from an Oil & Gas manufacturing company
Changes to committed supplier delivery dates for raw material/components were causing significant disruption to the manufacturing process
This resulted in a negative impact to the business with
disruption to shop floor production planning
additional costs to expedite products to alleviate delay to customers
negative impact on overall On Time Delivery
Procurement users attempted to manage the disruption via Excel spreadsheets which were
bespoke to each user
manually managed and therefore time-consuming – approx. 3 days per week per buyer
update cycle between buyer and supplier typically 5 working days
off-line from ERP system
AG Approx 500,000 open PP lines for such products at any time
