Option Matrix team has embarked on an ambitious project to consolidate our knowledge in the manufacturing industry domain and build solution frameworks that will give our clients the ability to substantially shorten project implementation cycles. We are working on generic versions of our 8 solution frameworks as a first step and tailored vertical specific solutions for major segments of manufacturing will be created as a next step.
With the emergence of low-cost, globally distributed facilities, manufacturing operations have changed dramatically in recent years. To compete effectively, manufacturers have discovered that optimizing processes within the organization and across the supply chain is no longer an option—it’s a requirement. In this section we have provided a quick snapshot of the key solutions that our team is building for the manufacturing industry
Our specialized modules provide data and intelligence for supply chain professionals to manage performance of after-sales service, procurement, inventory and demand management functions. The modules contain pre-built Intellectual Property (IP) and accelerators in the form of process frameworks, data models, analytical tools, best-in-class performance metrics and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) scorecards tailored for specific supply chain roles.
MM solution helps your company reduce buying material and services expenditure by combining best-in-class spend analytics with our global sourcing framework, including a lean methodology approach. We enable buy-side contract management to increase on-contract spend and compliance, and realize the benefits of sourcing cycles. Our framework helps you build or deploy technology solutions to drive next generation source-to-pay processes including predictive cost management. Our solution enables supplier collaboration through information sharing and business rules-based 'manage by exception' approach to improve buyer efficiency.
PP solution is designed to gain real-time visibility and enterprise-wide information exchange. The solution spans variations across the discrete, process and batch manufacturing segments to enhance plant operations visibility and improve operational efficiencies through reducing WIP, reducing waste, improving yield and increasing on-time delivery.
Achieve quality intelligence by providing timely & accurate data derived from a common metrics model. Our solution helps intelligent & faster decision making by offering a powerful digitized and integrated Quality Management System (QMS) with the help of Lean, 'Do It Right First Time' principles and industry best practices. The Unified Enterprise Model drives quality by integrating operations, resulting in better compliance and product quality improvements.
The plant maintenance module addresses the work order based resolution of day of day corrective maintenance. Activity checklists for scheduled maintenance are supported with a calendar based navigation. The solution hinges on predictive maintenance culture to anticipate and prevent equipment downtime. Finally a reporting module has been provided to track trends and spot opportunities for elimination of root causes that lead to repeated equipment downtime.
Our process engineering module focuses on workflow associated with preparation, release, changes and replacement of process layouts that provide step by step instructions for each step of the manufacturing process. The entire system is structured around a document control process with role based workflow that can be customized to match needs to each client. Other functions included in this solution are a content management system to maintain a library of knowledge articles and frequently asked questions. Collaboration tools like bulletin board and private message board are included.
Order Management and Distribution
Using order management and network optimization models, we help organizations in enhancing supply chain network throughput by leveraging the power of IT - integrating disparate processes and IT systems through a structured integration platform to create global inventory visibility and order promising capability. Benefits include reduction in inventory costs and increased order fill rates.
Customer Information Management
Customer Information Management (CIM) solution helps you efficiently leverage customer information, resulting in operational efficiencies, enhanced customer satisfaction, improved workforce productivity and revenue. Our solution enables informed decision-making through better visibility and a unified view of customer information. In addition, our solution provides data quality services, modelling and integration, and contextualized analytics and metrics to manage and leverage information.
