Overview
Resource logistics applications coordinate the availability
and deployment of resources to their in-service locations. These often have a
close-coupling with supply chain applications but serve complementary roles.
Whereas supply chain applications identify vendors and alternate sources, and
manage order fulfillment while seeking to minimize stocking levels; resource
logistics applications identify and distribute resource stock where needed as
quickly as possible.
Functionality
Key functions of resource logistics applications
are:
- Resource or kit distribution
- People + part + event coordination
- Stock balancing or distribution in reaction to special
events or disasters
- Warehouse stock level projections
- Engineering Work Order Management
- Engineering Project Management
- Network Asset Deployment Workflow
- Resource Supply Chain Management
- Resource logistics applications take input from several
functions to determine the need for resource distribution including
- Resource planning (capacity)
- Workforce management - workforce management (preventative
maintenance, change management)
- Resource problem management (fault management)
- Resource Need Identification- resource logistics
applications output to supply chain management applications to identify
resource needs and order placement.
