In addition to analyzing costs, organizations are shifting toward the concept of designing products with an understanding of supply chain constraints. This requires the ability to provide enterprise visibility, as well as the ability to represent these constraints as attributes that can be filtered and analyzed during the design phase. An expanded catalog solution can incorporate these attributes within the same framework for engineers to gain rapid visibility to this information.
Capabilities of the i2 solution for design for supply can include:
- Collaborative workspace and bill-of-material collaboration
- Obsolesence management
- Visbility and analysis to Hazmat and warranty attributes for parts
Benefits of the i2 solution for design for supply can include:
- Improved number of preferred parts used by engineers
- Supply base rationalization
- Reduced number of late engineering changes
- Improved efficiency of the downstream supply chain
