Today's contract manufacturers must respond to rapid changes in client buying behavior, continued pressure to reduce lead times, and growing complexity in supply chain management. Vlastuin, an innovative contract manufacturer based in The Netherlands, understands these challenges. They adopted Cloud computing to meet their industry specific needs in a costeffective way. Vlastuin has choosen Cordys Process Factory (www.theprocessfactory.com) as the main platform for developing their supply chain management applications. This page is meant to show you some examples of our supply chain management solutions based on the Cordys Process Factory Platform.Recently, Vlastuin adopted a process-centric Web application that allows them to collaborate with trading partners, reduce the number of steps in the process, and identify and react quickly to supply chain exceptions. Vlastuin is specialized in laser cutting, bending, welding and component assembling. Vlastuin is working with several Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and is active in the following segments: agriculture, truck- and trailer, building machinery, forklift and loader cranes. Like most successful manufacturing companies, Vlastuin is critically dependent on its suppliers and subcontractors for specialized parts and operations. Dealing with numerous suppliers and subcontractors is time-consuming, effort intensive, and creates a greater risk of errors in both the quoting- and order process. To support these processes in an efficient way, Vlastuin developed a Quotation Collaboration Application with the main goal to reduce the Quotation Lead Time from a few weeks to a few hours. |
