Shape-IT
Generic Data for Dynamic Processes
Shape-IT is PearlChain.net’s rule modeling engine.
All agreements between the vendor and the buyer throughout the entire value chain are defined and used for the realtime planning of enterprise processes.
Using article numbers is an outdated approach. In Shape-IT all products, services and rules for the planning are defined by their characteristics and specifications.
Each order is a unique combination of materials and labour.
The use of generic data keeps the process dynamic and flexible: by redefining the master data, you get a faster response and a more realistic planning.
Find the Rules- Modeling Business Reality
Based on the agreement terms, Shape-IT models the complete business, supply and production environment of the enterprise.
Every process of the enterprise can be modeled to make management decisions based on real-time information. Shape-it connects all the processes, product specifications, rules and parameters in one decision model.
All processes, capacities, resources, materials, agreements and their mutual relations are interconnected to complete the model. The structure of Shape-IT allows you to replace thousands of Scopes Of Work (SOW), Bills Of Work (BOW), Bills Of Material (BOM), … with one Shape-IT model containing only a few dynamic rules.
Shape-IT models reality and takes into account all possible factors and variables. The planner, Supply-IT, uses this base of rules for the real-time planning.
Cash Planning
A company’s loss or profit is determined by the entire chain of activities. In the classic model, the result is viewed in hindsight. However, it is far more interesting to know in advance what the results will be.
We can configure a cost model in Shape-IT. The cost structures are determined as well as the definition of the cost elements which can or cannot be influenced. Using this model, we see the optimal capacity planning for each resource. The “waste capacity” throughout the chain becomes clear.
