AXUG Summit 2012

Supply chain applications, such as Microsoft Dynamics AX, are powerful platforms that not only allow you to execute business transactions but can also provide you with the business intelligence to identify problems in the supply chain. These applications can be a powerful tool for analysis, leading to organizational transparency and visibility. Understanding and shaping your data will enable your applications to provide you with the ability to see, eliminate, or manage the variability from your vendors, transportation providers and warehousing, as well as the demand variability created by your customers. This session will cover how to strategically select and implement a WMS; how a WMS works with Microsoft Dynamics AX; how to perform the analysis needed to develop supply chain strategies such as vendor compliance programs, supply chain network design, DC design and slotting, inventory optimization, and transportation optimization; How to convert analysis of the data for your organization into action so that variability can be managed and acted upon to achieve supply chain success.
