Electronics & Automation | CTB Material Readiness & Substitute Control Console

Combines demand sources such as Sales Orders, Forecast and Min-Balance with CRD, production lead times and procurement lead times to calculate multi-level BOM readiness while controlling substitutes, shortages and frozen-window demand changes.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Why the current approach does not scale

Electronics manufacturing combines sales orders, rolling forecasts and safety-stock demand. Deep BOMs, long procurement lead times and many substitutes make it hard for spreadsheets to answer when an order will really be material-ready and what is missing.

02
SOLUTION LOGIC

How GT solves it

Unify A/B/C demand priorities and CRD, then combine product/subassembly production lead times, procurement lead time, inventory, open supply, WIP and substitutes. Explode the BOM level by level to calculate earliest readiness and centralize shortage/substitute decisions in a CTB console.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Turn business constraints into system capabilities

01Sales Order / Forecast / Min-Balance demand sources
027-day rolling forecast import and priority control
03Multi-level BOM readiness calculation
04Procurement lead time, production cycle and WIP linkage
05Substitute approval, risk alerts and CTB console
04GT PRODUCT FIT

Composable capabilities, not an isolated application

The CTB console is the industry application layer; DataEx Hub connects ERP, purchasing, inventory and WIP; AiPS uses the readiness result as a feasibility input for scheduling.

05
BUSINESS VALUE

Outcomes should be measurable by the business

01

Earlier visibility of shortages that truly affect CRD

02

Less manual planning and cross-department reconciliation

03

Controlled and traceable substitute usage

04

Schedules based on real material availability rather than theoretical demand

DEMO

Calculate order-level CTB dates from mixed demand sources

Import rolling forecasts and orders to see how BOM depth, procurement lead times, supply/WIP and substitutes determine material-ready dates.
