Complex Technology Products Make Resourcing Parts Difficult

Resourcing parts across a global supply chain tends to be a strenuous process, especially if highly technical parts are needed. Determining if an alternative supplier can provide the same part requires careful consideration of technical specifications, quality requirements, and lead times.

Sourcing managers at industrial manufacturing companies often deal with hundreds or thousands of part numbers across a complex global supply chain. When a disruption occurs, they need to quickly identify alternative sources for critical parts to minimize the impact on production.

The Challenge of Strategic Sourcing

Strategic sourcing is the process of identifying, evaluating, and selecting suppliers to minimize costs and reduce risks. It requires a deep understanding of the supply chain, including the capabilities and limitations of potential suppliers. However, most companies lack the visibility and data needed to make strategic sourcing decisions effectively.

By integrating data from multiple sources, including ERP systems, supplier data, and market intelligence, TADA gives sourcing managers a comprehensive view of their supply chain and the potential alternatives available to them.
