Spurring Minimum Value Collaboration: Tool-Supported Demand Alignment

Abstract

This paper presents the Collaborative Demand Aligner (CDA), an open-source software solution for demand capacity management in the context of the Silicon Economy. CDA aims to simplify the coordination between manufacturers and suppliers in order to optimize the production and delivery capacities of both players. By providing efficient communication and collaboration, CDA facilitates the process of matching demand and capacity, resulting in improved resource utilization and increased operational efficiency in the ecosystem. The software offers a promising approach to improve the coordination and optimization of supply chain activities, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders involved.
