How wind turbine manufacturer Vestas gained control of the supply chain

However, the SAP Business Network promises Vestas more than just efficiency. It also works to ensure quality. Before any part begins its journey to the wind turbine, it must pass stringent quality checks and document its safety on the platform. This allows Vestas employees to ensure that every component meets the highest standards and is working properly. The changed specifications can be passed on immediately, for example, if there were problems due to rapid wear of a component and it now needs to be improved. In the event of incidents due to quality defects, the network provides all partners with transparency and traceability. In this way, the causes of defects can be understood and treated.

The network aims to facilitate future production planning using forecasting functions. Whether increasing production or reducing capacity: Using preview functions, suppliers can react to changes at an early stage and adjust their capabilities accordingly. This in turn gives you safe planning and reduces frictional losses in the supply chain.
