SMART SCM

         Contact us to start accelerating your business today.

The definition of a successful manufacturing enterprise is one that builds the right products, at the right time, for the right price. That's why so many manufacturing companies today are focused on managing the entire value-added chain, from the supplier to manufacturer, right through to the final customer. Supply Chain Management (SCM) has one overriding objective: to get more throughput from existing resources. SCM functionality helps companies reduce inventory, increase the transaction speed by exchanging data in real-time, and increase sales by implementing customer requirements more efficiently.

ARTHEN's SMART SCM solution lets you focus on customer value by creating truly demand-driven supply networks. A comprehensive supply chain management solution helps you manage your supply network with your own resources for manufacturing and distribution in collaboration with external resources such as sub-contractors, partners and suppliers. With ARTHEN SMART SCM , you gain the flexibility to achieve a dynamic balance between efficiency and responsiveness.

Flexible planning through transparent integration and collaboration

ARTHEN's SMART SCM solution lets your company achieve a balance between supply and demand by providing dynamic planning capabilities. Flexible planning tools, transparency and collaboration let you see the total plan, and where necessary, access the plans of other nodes in the network. Whenever you need to, you can make required changes in terms of supply, forecast and demand or planning data.

Execute with excellence, in harmony with your supply chain strategy or execution mode

To achieve the right balance between efficiency and responsiveness, it is important to have execution capabilities that support a wide range of supply chain strategies. Additionally, the flexibility to quickly and easily switch between or mix the different modes enables greater returns on investment and profitability.

Manage your performance and continuously improve your supply chain

A good plan is not enough. It must be executed properly as well, and you must make certain your strategy is working as you planned. With a good analysis of relevant information within the supply network, and the right tools for making any necessary changes, you can find any deviations and act swiftly to improve performance.
