Auto-Generate a commodity key code with SourceOptima
SourceOptima helps organizations keep track of their complex supply chains. It generates a map of the supplier network, mapping the requirements from the organization's mechanical drawings to the manufacturers who can meet them.
This enables capacity forecasting, risk analysis and the automation of tasks such as sourcing, RFQs and PO creation.
Decision Tree Mapping
The software uses decision trees to map supply chains based on mechanical drawings and supplier capability.
An example of a decision tree, mapping a mechanical drawing to suppliers can be seen here.
Supplier Capabilities Input Form
SourceOptima extracts required information from mechanical drawings and then utilizes that information to auto-generate a supplier capability form.
​
Below is an example of one such form.
