Sourcing Strategy |
The sourcing strategy for resolving bottleneck / shortage. |
The “View Material Availability” page provides key information on the parts, which have bottlenecks for the customer order / maintenance object for a specified planning horizon.
This page helps central planners to monitor the availability, allocation, requirement, procurement, bottleneck, and sourcing method of the required parts for a specified period. This leads to prompt resolution of material bottlenecks and enhanced operational efficiency.
A part will be identified as a bottleneck if the available quantity of the part in the warehouse mapped to the work center of the customer order / maintenance object is less than the required quantity and, the procurement time for more parts from the current date is prior to the start-date of the execution of the customer order. For example, if the customer order start-date is 20th of July with 1st July as the current date and the procurement time for the part being 15 days; the part will become a bottleneck since the expected date of arrival of scarce parts will be 16th of July, which is 4 days earlier than the start-date.
The following strategies are used to overcome part shortage
