3DS Exalead ii for Spare Parts

Search-based innovation brings one-stop information access and consumer-style simplicity to spare parts management

Developed in close cooperation with 3DS Exalead’s industrial clients, 3DS Exalead ii for Spare Parts helps companies rapidly break through the big challenges to accomplishing a deceptively simple mission: delivering the right spare part to the right place as quickly and economically as possible.

The Spare Parts Challenge
Why is this mission so challenging? First and foremost, it is difficult because most companies’ spare parts inventories are siloed in multiple systems around the globe, including ERP systems, databases, spreadsheets...even legacy VT/mainframe apps no one even understands anymore. As a result, many front-line and back office managers are in a difficult position with:

• No simple way to look up a part worldwide
• No global reporting on key performance indicators (KPIs)
• PLM data that is completely separated from supply / inventory data

These handicaps make it very difficult to optimize inventory levels and supply chain effectiveness in order to achieve maximum cost efficiency and meet customer satisfaction and product quality goals. To make matters worse, existing solutions like data warehousing and global MDM are expensive, complex and risky.

The 3DS Exalead ii for Spare Parts Solution
Now, 3DS Exalead ii for Spare Parts offers an alternative approach that capitalizes on your existing IT investments, offering a safe, easy, fast and cost-effective way to overcome your spare parts management challenges.

3DS Exalead ii for Spare Parts uses innovative semantic processing and indexing technologies to aggregate parts data worldwide (including PLM data, supply data and even installation and maintenance documentation), and transforms this diverse, scattered information into an agile spare parts management dashboard with full alerting and workflow support. And, of course, the Virtual Spare Parts Manager features the legendary usability, high performance and massive scalability that customers have come to expect from CloudView Search-Based Applications (SBAs).
