The business environment in the industry today is brutally
competitive. There is
a perceived need for much greater interaction between the customers
and enterprises.
This means that, in order to produce good goods or services to
customer and to provide
faster deliveries, the enterprise must be closely linked to both
suppliers and customers.
In order to achieve this improved delivery performance, decreased
lead times within
the enterprise and improved efficiency and effectiveness,
enterprises need to have
efficient planning and control systems that enable very good
synchronization and
planning in all the processes of the enterprise. |
