IFS has recently gained great notoriety, especially in fields related to Supply Chain Management, such as Oil & Gas, Aerospace and Construction.
Here are some of the ways that IFS Applications 10 can streamline the supply chain process:
- Product Estimate Management
IFS Applications 10 has a feature which allows an engineer to order or configure in such a way that they coordinate with the rest of the company. The product estimate management feature can help companies determine the cost of supplying a product and add any supplementary costs to arrive at the final price that the consumer has to pay. Thus harmonizing the price estimation process.
- Warehouse Management
IFS 10 can help industries improve warehouse management. It assists in the process of handling units to ensure smooth flexibility and traceability of products.
- Quality Control
Quality control is an essential component of the supply chain process. Consumers tend to go for products that offer consistent quality. IFS' quality management feature offers companies a way to ensure that only defect free products go into the hands of consumers. Manufacturers can keep track of the shell-life of products, which means that they can have an idea of when manufactured goods will expire. Furthermore, IFS 10 also helps consumers to give feedback that can be used to improve the overall product to make sure that it is in line with what customers want.
4. User Experience
Consumers can share their experience with manufacturers, which can help them improve their quality and better gauge the demand for a product. The positive feedback can be used to generate and attract more customers. It can also help them market their products more effectively.
