Supply Chain impacts most organizations throughout the business, as they are dependent upon the integration of Supply Chain into their respective processes. Asset management depends upon Supply Chain to deliver and maintain an adequate number of critical spare parts and deliver materials and services to the right location at the right time. The business processes are complex and require a rich understanding of each step-in demand fulfillment to support sourcing across the enterprise.

For an implementation of Maximo for Supply Chain to be effective, you will want to engage a variety of practitioners who can guide you through processes AND technology. First, let’s look at what business challenges can be resolved by Maximo for Supply Chain:
