M3 Supply Chain Management

Infor M3 Supply Chain Management applications offer a powerful and unique method for supporting the planning, scheduling and fulfillment/execution of your supply chain.

The core Supply Chain Planning capabilities includes forecasting, material and distribution planning, plant scheduling, supply-chain-orders and global capable-to-promise functionality. The material and distribution-planning engine plans down to the hour and minute level to facilitate tight scheduling of manufacturing and sourcing to meet deadlines for same or next day shipments to customers. The shelf life of individual lots is integrated into the material planning engine and enables you to activate alerts for stock projected to become obsolete before consumed by any demand like forecast or sales orders.

Infor M3 Supply Chain Execution supports the fulfillment process for both simple and complex distribution networks and includes warehouse and transport management, lot-allocation and traceability, internal distribution orders, statistics and more.

The warehousing module supports full lot-management and traceability with expiry dates, last sales dates and harvest date handling. Attributes can be assigned to lots and balance IDs and tracked through the supply chain. Pallets and cases can be represented and transacted upon using the container and package management concept with support for license plates and SSCC-identifications.

Freight cost management gives you the capability to calculate expected carrier-costs and assign to deliveries and shipments for later self-billing or matching against supplier or carrier invoices.
