Vendor Managed Inventory for Hi-Tech Industry
SCM has evolved as a key differentiating factor in today’s hi-tech industry. In addition to choice of the right supplier, the logistics infrastructure supporting the sourcing is a key enabler in optimizing the process, in the face of global sourcing strategies that the industry follows.

If the vendor has a view of the inventory and logistics flow of the products, he is in a better position to plan an efficient replenishment process. Ownership postponement reduces cash-to-cash cycle time. VMI hubs perform value added services and enable more efficiently-managed product flow into manufacturing or the market. Inventory visibility into the entire supply chain is available to the vendors and CM / OEMs – increasing efficiency, productivity, flexibility and enabling better production planning.

EDI linkages facilitate communication. Efficient VMI needs modular extended ERP applications and XML support, thus making system communication easier. Collaborative portals provide virtual integration both up and down the supply chain. EBI provides supply on demand processes and have the ability to flow across intra and inter-company links, creating real time hookups within the organization for both suppliers and customers. It manages demand planning with web-based applications, performs value added services as product integration, inspection, component programming and returns processing.

Clinical Trial solutions for Healthcare and Life Sciences Industry
Nearly 45% of a drug development cost is incurred during clinical trial phase for pharma companies. Industry studies indicate that more than 75% of all clinical trials are behind schedule.

Wipro’s integrated content management solution automates the clinical trials by two-thirds the time. EBI helps improve the entire process by managing end-to-end documentation, reducing the cost of data acquisition and clean-up during trials, enabling real time decision-making on the basis of immediately accessible data and ensuring regulatory compliance and faster submission preparation. The major benefits are accelerated clinical trials, faster approval times, and effective regulatory compliance and faster submission preparation, effective development of drug development costs and minimized non-compliance risks. It also allows for easier maintenance and greater extensibility.

Baggage Handling Solution for Travel Industry
Baggage handling is a constant source of concern and stress for air travel passengers. Airlines and airports can differentiate through their superior customer service, by implementing an automated baggage handling system.

At a time when lost and mishandled bags cost the industry $2.5 billion a year, airlines collectively could save $768 million a year if passive RFID tags are implemented for baggage handling. [Source: ATW, March 2006].

The key to reducing the cost of mishandled baggage is the optimization of global industry standards and integration of data generated through user transactions directed at existing baggage applications. An end-to-end integrated baggage solution can leverage the power of EBI by integrating different business applications to help airlines adapt to changing business environments and better connect with their customers and business partners, achieving efficiency through the use of modern techniques like RFID.

Product Life Cycle management
During product development over 70% of the product’s final cost results from decisions made during the design and engineering process. Providing the right inputs and right direction at the appropriate time enables faster time to market. By providing all types of users with easy access to data through role-based portals, PLM solutions help speed up process of product development and ensure right decisions are taken at the right time. Three factors: product innovation, new product development and faster product rollout have become the new rules of business to gain competitive advantage leading to a need for PLM solutions.

PLM benefits when integrated to EBI. Seamless integration with various processes of the manufacturer will provide benefits of reduced data duplication across all processes. It also helps development of a cohesive design and planning process. Data retrieval required for product development is made possible from all departments. PLM also comes with one fully integrated solution with ERP thus providing manufacturers lower total cost of ownership. An integrated solution reduces the time required for data sharing and facilitates faster product rollout.
