IXM: Intelligent Execution Manager

Sense and respond integrated planning and execution

 

For years, the supply chain technology market has talked about integrated planning and execution. Platform delivers the industry’s first real-time, incremental decision support technology, which we call IXM (Intelligent Execution Management).

IXM is a sense and respond framework that underlies Platform’s overall execution capabilities. IXM guides execution in the right direction by monitoring all events, identifying issues, deciding on resolution alternatives, and then executing the resolution that best meets the overall business objectives. In effect, IXM is a forward guidance system for your supply chain.

IXM delivers results that are proven to be superior to today’s fragmented planning and execution systems architecture. The ability to incrementally align supply chain execution as it occurs with overall business objectives against real-time demand, supply and logistics inputs leads to an unprecedented level of operational precision and realization of untapped value.

Highlights:

  • Incremental decision support framework to automatically monitor execution, identify issues, decide, and execute optimal resolutions based on business rules and constraints.
  • Demand, supply and logistics constraint-based coupled with minimum perturbation algorithms to balance incremental resolutions with macro objectives.
  • Platform includes a portfolio of IXM plug-ins that provides sense and respond capabilities for order generation, inventory buffer management and transportation and logistics.
  • A fully distributed and incremental architecture to enable large-volume transaction scalability.

IXM represents one more breakthrough that is built within One Network Platform. This technology enables Platform to support new supply chain business models that are based on dynamic decision making using the latest snapshot of the supply chain.
