Manufacturing

Competitiveness of manufacturing companies is driven by the ability to quickly launch new products, and speed time-to-market and order-to-cash cycles – all while reducing inventory and cost. Vision has the domain experience and the technological depth to address a range of challenges that the industry faces. We have helped many leading global manufacturing companies leverage IT to optimize their production process and integrate operational requirements with enterprise-level decision-making.

Our Manufacturing practice orchestrates a broad range of technology services – from embedded software to RFID – with significant experience in :

          • Enterprise package implementation

          • Support and integration

          • Supply chain product implementation and support

          • EDI integration

          • Engineering design services.

Our solutions traverse buy (procurement), make (production) and sell (sales) boundaries to deliver across the enterprise, including finance, human resources, and costing.

Vision partners with manufacturing clients in a variety of engagement models, based on their requirements. We offer deep experience in numerous vertical industry sectors including :

          • Automotive

          • Electronics

          • Consumer Goods

          • Food & Beverages

          • Transportation.

Each manufacturing company has distinct automation and collaboration needs, which are reflected in the enterprise solutions they choose. In addition to the end to end services portfolio, Vision has experience in creating customized solutions for Engineer-To-Order (ETO) and Manufacture-To-Order (MTO) companies. We focus on enhancing both the reach and depth of information, in addition to reducing its latency.

Faced with razor-thin margins created by competitive pressures and an economic downturn, manufacturers are even more eager to optimize supply chains by implementing new business processes that span disparate systems throughout the extended enterprise. But many companies are reluctant to act, because achieving these efficiencies has historically entailed complex and costly integration projects that are difficult to fund, slow to deliver, and marked by risky custom development. The end result is difficult to maintain and lacks the flexibility manufacturers require to respond rapidly to changing market conditions.

Vision can help companies achieve seamless, end-to-end integration of their manufacturing processes through low-cost, rapidly implemented solutions that leverage XML and Web services to ensure continuous optimization.

Our integration technologies let you quickly integrate over 200 information sources and data structures including e-business formats, legacy mainframe systems, and popular packaged applications such as SAP, i2, Manugistics, Seibel, and PeopleSoft, so you can :

 
•
Quickly integrate disparate SCM and CRM systems to create a real-time view of all key performance indicators, including suppliers' status, production capacity, inventory stock, pending orders, and fulfillment.
 •
Integrate manufacturing processes across multiple plants and geographical locations.
 •
Streamline and automate your supply chain and adopt "just-in-time" efficiencies by collaborating with partners using XML and Web services.
  •
Measure and monitor contract performance with suppliers and vendors.
  • Perform sophisticated analysis and forecasting so you can spot trends and anticipate fluctuations in demand.
  • Achieve superior customer service by delivering on time and providing accurate order status information at any time.
