Mission/ Reason to exist in market:
ASTICON can
offer guidance in these Business scenarios:
1) You have a Supply Chain Strategy and
want to define a supporting Supply Chain IT Strategy for your Business.
2) Or – You have your SC IT Strategy in
place and want to select, e.g. an MES platform to build on.
3) Or – You have your MES-platform in
place and want to define factory projects (roll-out)
4) Or- You have your MES-platform
rolled out and working and want to assess or upgrade the currently running
solution.
“Supply
Chain IT” is here defined broadly as IT-systems in the areas of: Manufacturing-IT, Industrial IoT, Industry
4.0, Operations technology (often used by the acronym IT/OT), and even the
Supply Chain related part of your Business-IT System, such as Quality and Plant
Maintenance.
ASTICON Delivery examples, high level:

(See further details in tabular form in detail section)
Definition of IT-strategy: Based on workshops with your Supply
Chain organization, a short, clear Strategy document is created. This will show
how e.g. an IIoT solution can support your strategy. Included is also initial,
Total-Cost-of-Ownership calculation for the IT-solution, which shall be part of
your Business Case in deciding to progress with implementation.
System and supplier Selection process: Based on the Supply Chain’s business
requirements, a short and clear requirement list is created. System selection
process is carried out with a strong focus on
a) Delivering on requirements, b) Total IT-costs: Pilot-project +
roll-out + operating/upgrade costs in the years after.
Supplier Contract Negotiation: In close cooperation with your own
Procurement and Legal staff, the delivery is the describe the exact scope of
delivery. A supplier contract must address all cost elements. Very often the long
term costs of upgrading and extending e.g. MES-solutions get out of control.
