Informatica Solutions for Manufacturing

Increasing Supply Chain Efficiency, Enhancing Products, and Streamlining Reporting with High-quality Data

Growing demand for supply chain efficiency means that manufacturers are looking to more tightly integrate their operational and financial systems. This is driven by the fact that up to $40 billion in sales is lost each year due to supply chain inefficiencies. To remain competitive, manufacturers have adopted Global Data Synchronization and Electronic Product Code/Radio Frequency Identification (EPC/RFID).

However, many manufacturers are being hindered in their attempts to fully automate business processes and move to the next level of supply chain management because of poor data quality. If the ultimate goal of an uninterrupted link from manufacturer to the point of sale is to be realized, these companies need to be able to access, discover, cleanse, integrate, and deliver their data where and when needed throughout their enterprise. In so doing, manufacturers can drive key business initiatives such as:

  • Increasing operational efficiency by leveraging clean, integrated customer, product, supplier, and operational data-from internal as well as external trading partners' systems-across their business processes
  • Improving product performance by integrating data from multiple sources as well as monitoring data in real time to obtain a holistic view of product performance
  • Establishing a robust compliance framework by pulling data from many disparate sources, guaranteeing its quality and reliability, and ensuring that frontline managers, executives, and other users have real-time access to integrated information about potential compliance issues through dashboards and triggers
