Akoya’s Supply Chain Dashboard lets you easily get the information you need to optimize your supplier network.

• See your parts spend levels graphically with Akoya’s powerful Global Supplier Chart. Your parts purchases are color coded by country with overlapping bubbles that graphically show spend levels. You can choose to view by part category or savings threshold.

  The Global Supplier Chart allows you to see which suppliers are outliers (either too expensive or too cheap) so you can renegotiate on a by part or by vendor basis – or rationalize suppliers. You can also view more detail on a specific supplier to analyze which parts are outliers for that supplier, then view comparable parts and comparable suppliers.

  The Global Supplier Chart also shows you which specific parts fit with its supplier’s parts portfolio (suppliers are most effective when they make parts that are similar to each other). You can also view more detail by clicking on a specific part bubble: you can view detail on that specific part or view detail on all parts from any one supplier.

• View comparable parts side by side A powerful asset within Akoya’s Global Supplier Chart is its ability to show you comparable parts. You can also see comparable parts using Akoya’s Comparable Parts view. Akoya searches by part traits and then shows on screen images of comparable parts in your database side by side. You can also see side by side detailed parts feature data for each comparable part, aiding deeper analysis. This allows you to rationalize parts, optimizing your supply chain.

• Get the big picture on your parts suppliers Akoya’s Global Supplier List outlines all of your parts suppliers, identifies their countries, the number of parts you purchase from them, your spend with each supplier, your potential savings, even the specific parts with their potential savings. You can also see each part’s spend index and supplier fit score or sort the Global Supplier List based on savings threshold levels.

• Learn if your parts suppliers are focusing on the parts they make best Akoya’s Portfolio Chart lets lets you look at one supplier’s parts to see where they fit regarding parts fit and spend index. That way, you can stay in the supplier’s sweet spot and work to reduce part defects and cost.

• Find out who else you might buy from The Alternative Suppliers View lets you find current and alternative suppliers for any given part. This can be particularly helpful when capacity needs shift or when you need to conduct an emergency resourcing event.

• Get a handle on each part category Using Akoya’s Category Dashboard, you can view parts by parts category, learn how much you’re spending, see how many parts  you buy in each category and how many suppliers you are using. You can also learn which parts offer potential savings and see the total potential savings in each category. 

• Get part details Find and get details on a specific part by part number with the Part Lookup view.
