About this Presentation
In September 2015, Microsoft’s supply chain IT team, in collaboration with Goldratt Research Labs, embarked on a journey to design, test and implement a theory of constraints (TOC)-based end-to-end supply chain management (SCM) solution for managing Microsoft’s Global Digital Supply Chains. Within just 3.5 months, the first part of the TOC SCM solution for BTO (Build-to-Order) went live within their SAP system. Since then, every second month they went live with an additional TOC-based order fulfillment strategy which included BTA (Build-to-Availability), ATO (Assemble-to-Order) and BTX (Build-to-X number). Each of these were tested (to validate it will outperform their existing SCM rules) and SCM rule parameters optimized using a dynamic simulation model before piloting and implementing within SAP and SAP APO. In this keynote presentation, the presenters will share challenges and insights gained during their journey as well as new innovations and the results achieved from the TOC SCM end-to-end solution implementation.
