5 The Connected Enterprise Inventory Management About This Script This script provides the necessary steps and talking points needed to demonstrate Inventory Management related subjects, using the MightyQ s Cookie Company s Connected Enterprise. This script shows how various employees of the fictional MightyQ s Cookie Company use their Connected Enterprise across multiple sites with respect to their business concerns. Different employees can access data specific to their roles: If I'm in Management, I can see my production status and recommend adjustments to better manage my global operations and maximize profits. If I'm in Operations, I gain insight into usage patterns from operators, materials, equipment - enabling me to improve or fine tune the process for better performance. And if I'm responsible for Maintenance I now know when to deploy the right resources for predictive maintenance to minimize equipment failures and eliminate costly unscheduled downtime. This presentation covers the following attributes, with an emphasis on: Process Orders Genealogy This script provides an example you can follow with your customer. The purpose of the script is to provide you with the talking points, you are encouraged to embellish and augment the script to meet your style and your audience. Do not feel that you are bound to follow the script exactly. Be creative and make it yours. Note that there is much more content that you can leverage within the system. You are encouraged to become familiar with the other reports and analyses in order to better serve your customer. 5/19/2017 The Connected Enterprise Inventory Management, Rev 1.00 Page 5 of 13

6 Delivery Options As the presenter of this demonstration, you have several options for delivering the demonstration, they are: Via your PC leveraging the Demo as a Service (DaaS) Site o This has the benefit of showing a working system and allows you to go off script if needed o This also comes with risks associated with network speed that may affect performance. Via the PowerPoint Presentation o A set of PowerPoint slides are available that cover this demonstration o This is static and will not allow you to go off script. o This has the benefit of not requiring Internet access and therefore not being affected by performance issues o It has reduced impact for the customer as it is not live Via a Video o Various chapters have supporting videos that can be run from the DaaS o You can turn off the speakers to allow you to talk to the video as it runs Via a Remote Desktop Connection to a Client Image, this would be a Live Demonstration o This method allows you to remote into an image that already is configured with all of the client tools o This would require special access that you will need to request in advance 5/19/2017 The Connected Enterprise Inventory Management, Rev 1.00 Page 6 of 13

10 Chapter 1 Process Orders 1. Page Description This is the Process Orders display. This report provides a summary table of the order for a selected date range. From the table, a user can drill down into each individual order to see additional information about that order. What steps do I need to perform? 1. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the VantagePoint portal ( 2. You will be brought to the Welcome page of MightyQ s Connected Enterprise. 3. Under the blue Use Cases tile located to the right of the webpage, click Inventory Management. This will default to the Process Orders report. 4. In the table under the Order column in the top-left, click the + symbol in the first row to show more detailed information about the first order. 5. Click the link of the Order Item to drill down to the sequence level. 6. Select the 1 in the first Sequence column to pull up a more detailed display about that particular sequence. Story Board Previously, we had disconnected silos of information everywhere. Data floating around not being accessible. Today, with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) as part of the Connected Enterprise we managed to incorporate this data into comprehensive traceability. This Process Order Report is a perfect example for this traceability, visualizing scheduled, running or completed Order information in realtime. Going from a top level Process Order all the way down into the smallest details we are able to see who did what when. 5/19/2017 The Connected Enterprise Inventory Management, Rev 1.00 Page 10 of 13

11 As an example the Bill of Material at the Mixing shows us real-time consumptions and production, along with their Planned and Actual quantities. Now with these details of our production process available in a structured way we are able to provide it as input to an ERP or Production Planning systems in real-time. That allows us to optimize the execution and therefore allowing us to run in a demand based manufacturing environment. Value: This also helps provide us real time information for feedback on goal vs. actual performance, as well as yield. Know real-time status of our inventory, machine and workforce availability and can now operate in a demand based manufacturing environment. We are able to verify the quality of materials, batch or recipes by testing and validating in real time and in-line with production. Having this information when you need it helps reduce costs by eliminating waste and non-value add time as quality issues can be resolved before they get out of control, instead of finding them during final inspections. 5/19/2017 The Connected Enterprise Inventory Management, Rev 1.00 Page 11 of 13

12 Chapter 2 Genealogy 1. Page Description This is the Forward Genealogy report page. From this table, you can drill up all the way through the production process from the initial raw materials inputs up to the final produced pallets for additional information about which order was used to produce the selected batch, what kind of material was produced, and what batches have been consumed. What steps do I need to perform? 1. To navigate to the Forward Genealogy report, select Forward Genealogy in the Vantage Point tree in the left. 2. In the top-left Material Number dropdown menu, select Egg Powder. 3. Click the arrow located in the last column of the first row to pull up another report that provides the details of the raw materials used. 4. Continue to click one of the arrows in the far right columns of the tables until you get to the table that shows the pallet information. Story Board We also have tracking and genealogy. Simple barcoding is used throughout our manufacturing processes so we now have visibility to identify all Work In Process, we have lot or batch traceability, and material genealogy. In the case of an incident, this can also help us to isolate, quarantine and identify finished goods produced with a certain batch of raw materials. Last month, when we got a notification from our supplier that we had received tainted egg powder, we knew exactly were the tainted material was used, from raw material inventory all the way to our warehouse. Value: Users are able to track a material all the way through the process, ultimately to a table that shows what pallets contain produced materials where the selected raw input materials was used in. 5/19/2017 The Connected Enterprise Inventory Management, Rev 1.00 Page 12 of 13

13 Summary In addition, traditional inventory tracking doesn't account for any waste or rework. Raw materials are not accounted for until the products reach final goods. So as a company gets orders they might think material is in stock, but realize it isn't once production is underway. As a result, they have to quickly call suppliers and expedite materials, which just adds unnecessary costs to the products. With a Connected Enterprise we solved this problem. We're back-flushing and accounting for inventory at the point of consumption. So as a bag of material goes into a mixer, it's accounted for and no longer shows as 'in-stock'. It is a more accurate way to account for our inventory and it gives you a closed-loop view of those materials. And it's only possible with digital tracking in a Connected Enterprise. 5/19/2017 The Connected Enterprise Inventory Management, Rev 1.00 Page 13 of 13
