Today's manufacturing and process industry market is facing challenges of increasing competition and slowing demand where manufacturers compete both in the local as well as the global market. The flow that begins from make-to-order manufacturing, fulfilling individual customer requirements rather than make-to-stock has put new demand on both manufacturers and dealers. Manufacturers must closely manage armies of suppliers and partners to make certain that the correct systems and components are delivered where and when they are needed and also prioritize their supplies to their respective dealers.
