Reducing the risk, cost and time to deployment of new business systems

Supply Chain Explorer

Overview A business can only be understood in the context of its customers and suppliers.  This Explorer provides capabilities to model supply chains and distribution channels.  The flow of products between businesses that are required to produce new products defines supply chains.  The bill of materials (in the widest sense to include intangible products) identifies all of the constituent parts of a product, and supply chain models describe how businesses exchange products.
