We are a consulting company and are looking for an open source software solution that helps to manage procurement risks in the industry according to certain requirements.
If possible, the following requirements should be met:
- Make-or-buy decision
- What to do if a supply bottleneck occurs
- Automatic risk identification (what and where)
- Material is not available (not deliverable)
- Production stop -> machine downtime
- Fundamental risks (ranking)
- Deviation from planned production quantity (result higher/lower than expected),
- Scenario technique (best-case / worse-case),
- Identification of critical production materials (e.g. raw, auxiliary and operating materials, semi-finished products)
- List of top risks (highest expected value)
- List of top measures (greatest possible positive effect)
- Display of the areas of application (e.g. as a pie chart)
- Relationship between risk and measures list
- Self-sorting list (prioritization)
- Stock (what to do if production materials are not in stock)
- Identification of critical suppliers (risk per product, category, supplier)
- Identification of critical products
- Management (critical materials, measures taken to mitigate risk)
- When will the next order arrive
- Estimated point of lowest stock level depending on demand plan / production plan
- What is the lowest level of operational demand
- Software should indicate when “reserve stock” should be used
- How do measures affect my costs
Initially, nothing is specified about the number of software workstations.
Note from SoftGuide:
For the open source software requirement, we do not know whether further development or an escrow service (fiduciary source deposit) is being sought. In the case of further development, we see problems in the area of maintenance. We have explicitly not considered this aspect in the proposals.
