TTI ENHANCES SUPPLIER ENABLEMENT INITIATIVE

This portal is designed to support TTI through the One Network onboarding process. The initiative aims to create a digital foundation to optimize customer service in times of increasing supply chain complexity and risk. 

TTI is investing in advanced technologies to improve multi-tier supply chain visibility across its supply networks to accomplish our objectives. TTI is providing suppliers with advanced supply chain visibility and collaboration capabilities to streamline business processes with TTI and improve their operations, reducing their cost-to-serve.

BUSINESS CASE FOR CHANGE

Today’s current and future supply chain dynamics, including increasing complexity and volatility, require advanced capabilities that increase visibility and improve rapid response and a single version of the truth among trading partners. Trading partners need integrated planning and execution across their networks to meet increasing customer demand while improving cost-to-serve.

SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES

Partners share data via channels like EDI signals, FTP, SharePoint, Email, etc. This spread of data channels brings challenges for onboarding new partners and maintaining the infrastructure, data accuracy, and real-time availability. This reality has caused manual, repetitive processes spanning hundreds of suppliers and thousands of employees for TTI. The result is decreased supply chain performance for the ecosystem resulting in:

  • Long Lead-times
  • Increased Component Shortages
  • Excessive Expedite Expenses
  • Increased Inventory Investment
  • Increased Exposure to Excess and Obsolete

SOLUTION

There is a need for a single platform for data onboarding, a real-time source of partner information. TTI and its partners can participate in real-time multi-party planning and execution with this foundation and eliminate manual, repetitive processes that constrain most organizations today:

  • Address the need for real-time information, resilience, and supply chain visibility has never been more apparent to more people in more companies worldwide.
  • Create systemic agility, crucial to maintaining in-stock availability and high customer satisfaction.
  • Provide a common data model where each partner manages their data so that RSPs and LSPs can eliminate disparate and duplicated collaboration methods across many internal and external systems.
