SUPPLY CHAIN COLLABORATION
DE | EN

Description

The key to the solution lies in the creation of transparency and structure.

TRANSPARENCY. PARTSBOARD places problem-solving in the center. Instead of lonely and quiet sequential processing, all relevant supply chain partners work together jointly and concurrently to reach the best of all solutions.

Open, joint and constructive discussions are carried out in blog-style communication threads. The entire project with all its considerations and results is constantly, automatically and clearly documented.

STRUCTURE. PARTSBOARD’s problem-solving process is industry-proven, transparent and clearly formulated. It structures and controls the collaboration along the supply chain. The process supports the implementation of immediate measures and actively guides the project team to solving the problem. Milestones ensure a joint understanding and secure the project results.

The structure tree of the “Parts Navigator” details the assembly under investigation down to the single part that needs optimization. This guarantees the constant product focus of the project.

The project can be displayed in different views, e.g. the project view and the 8D-report.



PARTSBOARD was designed around three fundamental premises:

A. SECURITY FIRST

  • Security main priority for all functions and at all stages
  • Only proven and safe technologies used
  • Data hosting in Germany only (German laws and German data protection apply)
  • Data access only for active employees (monthly legitimization of all participants)

B. EASE OF USE

  • Describe problem, invite your supplier, project started; team extension ad hoc upon need
  • Clear and intuitive user-interface with extended help functions
  • Status of all open projects at a glance
  • Ad-hoc invitation of additional part owners (to further expand the parts tree)
  • Extended documentation of the project (incl. 8D-report)

C. NEUTRAL PLATFORM

  • Open and constructive discussion culture to allow the best solutions
  • Transparent, open and proven processes that avoids ulterior motives
  • Neutral provider without any own stakes in the project and the supply chain
  • No costs for participation in a project (only project setup is fee-based)
