Product overview

The Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management application provides a comprehensive view of processes and resources in the warehouse, production, inventory, logistics and delivery areas. The predictive analytics embedded in the application transforms data into insights so you can make strategic and more accurate decisions.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management capabilities

Proactive management through IoT intelligence

Connect machines on the shop floor with production assets in a single application so you can manage your IoT network and respond to notifications coming from devices. The outcome? Ongoing control of process and product quality, faster production, and reduced downtime caused by machine failures.
Associate IoT notifications with specific production processes using a simple creator. This will keep machine operators informed about events on the production line and allow them to develop a production strategy. Full device monitoring and data analysis support better troubleshooting decisions.
Use a scheduling optimisation feature if a machine is pulled out of production and distribution plans need to be changed. The application completes the task in minutes using the computing power of Azure. Previously it might have taken hours to analyse historical data. This fast action allows production managers to quickly assess changes and continue to optimise production.

Greater efficiency through resource management

Track machine activity and response when a service team, line event or IoT notification triggers a request for a specific action in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Assigning technicians to tasks that match their qualifications through resource management in the app is easy and intuitive.
At any stage of work – inspection, repair or maintenance – the app provides insight into what is currently happening in processes and machines, so managers can improve action planning and team performance. The module also allows proactive and predictive maintenance of equipment.

Maximum flexibility through order management

Manage orders and gain control over the BOM. Through the ECM (engineering change management) function, it is possible to create and release main products for specific customers while ensuring process consistency and time savings.
From FIFO (First In First Out) to LIFO (Last In First Out) to FEFO (First Expired First Out), the management of models and the categorisation of attributes for each product is structured and intuitive. The application supports multiple production and distribution scenarios and a configurable range of unit types (box, litre, pallet, etc.).
Categorise each product by price for a specific group of customers. Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management supports workspaces for configuring price quotes (CPQ). Your sales team responsible for managing sales orders can oversee all daily tasks in a single application and complete orders with accurate details.
Personalise information displayed to app users, allowing them to focus on specific details important to them and speed up data entry into the app.
Obtain a complete view of stock and production status for an item during order processing. This insight allows you to respond quickly to customer and employee enquiries.
Configure, track and test each item for distribution or production with the complete product lifecycle functionality available in Supply Chain Management. What is more, each item can be configured for discrete or process manufacturing.

Innovation through process insights and operations analysis

Track and test the quality of products or raw materials – these items can then be matched with a particular supplier in the Dynamics Supply Chain Management app. The application allows you to submit requests for quotations (RFQ) for new demand and evaluate suppliers using a scoring system and questionnaire responses to work with the best supplier.
Track each order, quantity, and activity at each stage of the process, and view the status of an order, delivery or invoice in D365 Supply Chain Management tools. Use the app space for adding useful information such as supplier performance evaluation or material quality.
Track activities in the supply chain or production processes with advanced business analytics. Power BI combined with the D365 SCM application provides real-time information and visualises processes and their performance.
Track shipping and transportation performance in the Supply Chain Management application. The right information will help you estimate whether the goods will be delivered at the right time.
