JADE Supply Chain "Circle of Life" |
|
|
|
The S.M.A.R.T. Supply™
Module is designed to address all 12 Phases in the JADE Supply
chain Circle of Life with real time actions, reportin g and data
gathering. With all the key information stored in a central
location giving all interested and more importantly, responsible
parties the ability to access and act on the data from any
location in the world at anytime of day or night by simply using
a web browser.
The key element of managing a supplier or a series of suppliers
is providing them with all the information they need in a clear
and concise manner. Part of the clarity is the way in which the
ideas or requests are presented. JADE does this through
standardized forms and reports that guide all users throughout
the process, whether you are initiating or responding to a
request. Being concise becomes easier as everyone accessing the
database has a chance to ask questions, fix errors and update
information, as it is available. This can and will reduce the
amount of meetings, phone and/or videoconferences as well as
email and post.
