Empties Management System – EMS with SupplyOn
Since 2014, the SupplyOn EMS Service has been used in many Bosch plants worldwide. EMS is a system for electronic empties management between Bosch and its suppliers. Within the supply chain, the empties stocks are optimized and transparency is created to ensure sufficient availability of empties.
How does this work?
Within the EMS, all goods receipt and goods issue movements of Bosch empties containers are tracked. Bosch has a comprehensive overview of empties stocks in the supply chain via the monthly account balancing process, in which the supplier confirms the previous month's movements. The supplier has the option of entering movement or free complaints in the system, which are then processed by the individual Bosch plants. In addition, the usage fee per Bosch plant-supplier relationship can be determined on the basis of account movement data.
Your Benefits with the EMS Process via SupplyOn
- Slim and aligned communication
- Improved availability of empties due to transparency and optimization of empties stocks
- Easy ordering of empties via packaging kits and order favorites
- Transport time based calculation of shipping date
- Transparent tracking of order status for suppliers
- Conform processes among all plants
- Transparency on goods issue and goods receipt postings
