Abstract

The future of procurement finance is connected to the digital transformation, which in the case of procurement finance is a digital revolution connected with Business 4.0. The correct concept is to consider procurement finance 4.0 as a platform, with several actors—proprietors, providers, producers, and purchasers—with interchangeable roles. Fintech organizations are and will play more and more an important role in this new vision. At the same time, the technological solution which can make all this possible is blockchain, whose characteristics are more and more appreciated around the world. The digital transformation can gain a lot also from artificial intelligence and mobility.

The Order-To-Delivery-NETwork simulator (OTD-NET) has been continuously developed and used in studies and projects in various fields of application at the Fraunhofer IML for two decades. The focus of the simulator is the discrete production with particular focus on processes in the automotive industry. A unique feature is the detailed illustration of comprehensive planning processes. In this way, handling processes can be analyzed starting from the forecast, over the specific incoming order, the scheduling and production up to the delivery to the customer. OTD-NET can be used in the search of a weak point analysis, the evaluation of current processes and also to validate and evaluate target concepts. https://www.iml.fraunhofer.de/en/fields_of_activity/supply_chain_engineering/products/otd-net.html.
