The Centralized Hub for Real-Time Insights
Transform Product Demand into Insightful Purchase Orders
Aligni’s Build Manager collects all current and future builds in one system. This provides managers the ability to gain a comprehensive view of manufacturing activities and prioritize immediate needs from a single interface.
Clear, Real-Time Shortage Visibility
Aligni’s Material Shortage Report (MSR) helps analyze the specific short-term part requirements for each build.The report’s color coding and icons offer a clear snapshot of current conditions, highlighting areas that need immediate attention. Aligni’s advanced MSR is updated in real-time and efficiently operates with scores or even hundreds of builds on the production schedule.
Smarter Resupply with Flexible Sorting
Aligni’s material shortage report supports organizations in analyzing pending resupply orders. The MSR can sort these orders by lead time, need-by date, or a variety of other filtering approaches (e.g. part type, assemblies, manufacturer). The Aligni MSR also provides order lead time indicators on the same display.
Stay Ahead with Predictive Insights
Aligni’s Demand Matrix and Inventory Forecast tools collect and analyze all relevant data, giving you the clarity to manage inventory and production by forecasting future needs with precision.
Centralize All Product Demand in One Unified Tool
Aligni consolidates customer demand by compiling the quantities needed for each sales order into the Product Demand Matrix. This single view aggregates all anticipated product demand, making it easier to understand the needs of the entire organization. The Product Demand Matrix also provides valuable insights, including revenue, gross profit, and customer breakdowns, which are essential for financial forecasting and investor relations.
Transform Product Demand into Purchase Orders
Aligni’s Component Demand Matrix transitions from product demand to generating purchase orders for parts and materials. This breakdown offers strategic benefits, such as enabling organizations to share component forecasts with vendors, leading to better long-term pricing contracts by consolidating individual build needs into larger group orders. Additionally, the Component Demand Matrix provides insights into part lifecycle, helping to prioritize high-use parts over those nearing obsolescence.
Forecast Future Part Requirements
The Inventory Forecast tool helps businesses understand near term part and material demands. The tool’s graphical format quickly explains how production demand will affect inventory levels and safety stock thresholds. Aligni also displays drop dead order dates for parts on the same screen.
Forecast Future Needs with Confidence
Aligni’s demand planning tools help organizations develop long term estimations of part and material needs.
Project Lifecycle Patterns with Precision
Aligni’s Flow Demand tool projects future needs by using sales expectations and current run rates. Flow demand offers lifecycle estimation over user defined periods. These periods can be configured to more accurately forecast ramp-up and growth stages, sustained production periods, and phase-out. Flow Demand provides a more nuanced, real-world modeling of future product demand than straight line estimation.
