Sonos如何提高供应链可视性

To succeed in its ongoing quest to re-invent home audio for the digital age—yes, do try this at home!—global home sound–system leader Sonos first had to accomplish another daunting task: achieve end-to-end visibility across its global supply chain. And like Sonos, you can try this in your business, as well.

\n

For inspiration, here’s a brief overview of the transformative supply-chain initiative Sonos recently undertook, with Anaplan’s platform and business partner, Valizant, guiding them along the way. For more details, check out the full webinar featuring Vivian Zhang, Sourcing Operations Analyst at Sonos.

\n

First, find the right platform

\n

After an extensive, years-long search to find a technology platform that would allow its sourcing team to eliminate their dependence on a mass of unwieldy, error-prone Excel® spreadsheets, Sonos discovered Anaplan. The platform needed to let the team continue to do business their way, without sacrificing the flexibility and speed that enabled their rapid market growth in the first place.

\n

The Anaplan platform has allowed Sonos to scale company-specific processes while also adopting and automating best practices, thereby minimizing manual and time-consuming efforts and enabling them to significantly improve accuracy, efficiency, and productivity throughout the supply chain.

\n

Build from there

\n

When implementing the Anaplan platform, Sonos moved easily from one phase to another, with each new phase building upon the success of previous phases. A seamless flow of information between applications and throughout the supply chain, both internally and with global network partners, means that everyone is using the same real-time information and can quickly and easily collaborate to make better-informed decisions in ways that simply weren’t possible before.

\n

Sonos’ Anaplan implementation began with supply and demand balancing, which enabled each region to know exactly what products would be available and exactly when they would appear—which simply wasn’t possible with any level of confidence prior to the Anaplan solution. Building upon that success, Sonos tackled supply and capacity planning, material spend, component forecasts (with publication to suppliers), and key component visibility applications within the Anaplan platform.

\n

\"Phases
\nThe transformation of Sonos’ supply chain began with supply and demand balancing. The company built on that success in multiple phases and now has supply visibility at the component level.

\n

“There is no longer guessing about what the production plan is or if it is out of date,” said Valizant’s CEO, Ed Lewis, “because it flows directly from the supply-demand balancing, and ultimately from the capacity and supply planning.” He noted that publication of the component forecast is based on real production and real bills of materials, not an approximation. The overall forecast, purchase orders, and logistics forecasts are issued with the click of a button.

\n

“We now have full visibility across the whole company, from planning to the tiniest manufacturing partner component,” added Zhang. “With Anaplan, we are now able to have one single source of truth.”

\n

Hear Sonos’ Director of Global Sourcing Jonathan Rocque and Director of Integrated Business Planning Heather Williams describe how the company achieved a single connected plan across resources, spend, and product lines with Anaplan.

\n

Key takeaways

\n

You no longer have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to successfully implementing a solution to improve end-to-end supply chain visibility. Here are some key takeaways that Zhang and Lewis provide to help you stay focused when beginning your implementation:

\n
    \n
  • Target high-impact functions
    • \n
  • Demonstrate success to build momentum that carries on to the next priority
    • \n
  • Retain company-specific processes and then adopt best practices that add value
    • \n
  • Increase user adoption with an agile approach, which includes participation and transparency throughout the implementation (rather than creating a black box that’s handed over to users at the end)
    • \n
  • Plan for cost-effective adaptability to changing business conditions in the evolving organization
    • \n

为了成功地在数字时代重新发明家庭音频，是的，一定要试试这个在家里!-全球家庭音响系统领导者Sonos的首先必须完成另一项艰巨的任务:实现其全球供应链的端到端可见性。像Sonos一样，你可以做到试一试这在你的事业中也是如此。

为了获得灵感，以下是Sonos最近在anplan的平台和商业合作伙伴Valizant的指导下进行的供应链变革计划的简要概述。欲了解更多详情，请查看完整的网络研讨会专访Sonos采购运营分析师Vivian Zhang。

首先，找到合适的平台

经过长达数年的广泛搜索，Sonos找到了一个技术平台，使其采购团队能够消除对大量笨拙且容易出错的Excel®电子表格的依赖，最终Sonos发现了Anaplan。该平台需要让团队继续以自己的方式开展业务，同时又不牺牲灵活性和速度，而正是灵活性和速度使他们能够在市场上快速增长。

anplan平台允许Sonos扩展公司特定流程，同时还采用和自动化最佳实践，从而最大限度地减少人工和耗时的工作，并使他们能够显着提高整个供应链的准确性、效率和生产力。

从那里开始构建

在实施anplan平台时，Sonos很容易从一个阶段转移到另一个阶段，每个新阶段都建立在前一个阶段的成功之上。应用程序之间和整个供应链之间的无缝信息流，无论是内部还是与全球网络合作伙伴，都意味着每个人都在使用相同的实时信息，并且可以快速轻松地协作，以以前根本不可能的方式做出更明智的决策。

Sonos的Anaplan实现从供需平衡开始，这使得每个地区都能确切地知道什么产品可以买到，什么时候会出现——在anplan解决方案出现之前，这在任何程度上都是不可能的。在这一成功的基础上，Sonos在anplan平台上解决了供应和产能规划、材料支出、组件预测(并向供应商发布)以及关键组件可见性应用程序。


Sonos供应链的转型从供需平衡开始。该公司在多个阶段取得了成功，现在在组件级别上具有供应可视性。

Valizant的首席执行官Ed Lewis表示:“人们不再猜测生产计划是什么，或者它是否过时，因为它直接来自供需平衡，最终来自产能和供应计划。”他指出，组件预测的发布是基于实际生产和实际物料清单，而不是近似值。总体预测、采购订单和物流预测都是通过点击按钮发布的。

“我们现在对整个公司有全面的了解，从计划到最小的制造合作伙伴组成部分，”张补充说。“有了anplan，我们现在可以有一个单一的真相来源。”

关键的外卖

当谈到成功实现解决方案以改进端到端供应链可见性时，您不再需要重新发明轮子。以下是Zhang和Lewis提供的一些关键要点，可以帮助你在开始实施时保持专注:

  • 目标高影响功能
  • 展示成功，建立动力，继续进行下一个优先事项
  • 保留公司特有的流程，然后采用增加价值的最佳实践
  • 通过敏捷方法提高用户采用率，敏捷方法包括整个实现过程中的参与和透明度(而不是创建一个最后交给用户的黑盒)。
  • 在不断发展的组织中，对不断变化的业务条件进行经济有效的适应性规划
