N-SIDE Suite Update
Features Update
Welcome to our first features update of 2022! Here’s a summary of our latest new improvements for the N-SIDE Suite!
- N-SIDE Suite
- N-SIDE Supply App
- N-SIDE Production App
Sharing datasets has never been so easy
Gather and organize users in teams to facilitate the sharing of data.
Why working with teams?
- Group users that are working on the same dataset, e.g. project, trial, scenario.
- Users added to a team directly get access to all datasets previously shared with the team.
- All users in a team are granted the same access rights.
- Share datasets directly with teams.
Share projects, trials, milestones, and scenarios with other users or teams thanks to the new Share functionality
.
Benefit from an improved user experience
when reevaluating trials
Reevaluate trials, using IRT data extracts containing new lots, more easily as all imported IRT extracts are now available in all stages of the trial by default.
Manage the new lot management dataset by adding and matching new lot numbers for future productions. Unreferenced lots in IRT data extracts are automatically created and imported to prevent the risk of forgetting about newly released lots.
As and Advanced User, you are also more autonomous in your trial management as you are now able to create a new stage by duplicating a plan.
Faster, clearer, better depot shipments planning
Define the shipments you want to optimize in a faster and seamless way by automatically importing them from your results.
This new functionality does not come alone! With this update of the depot shipments module you will also benefit from enhanced:
- User-friendliness: Configure filters, select a result and launch simulations from the top of the interface. Analyze and convert shipment recommendations through a new side panel.
- Flexibility in the time period(s) to cover: define frozen periods per package type.
- Control on the quantity to convert: choose which quantity, requested or shipped, you want to convert.
- Clarity: obtain shipments recommendations that are better aligned with your operational schedule as the system is now exclusively recommending expiries and associated lot numbers from inventories that are upstream of the supplied depot.
Leverage new scenario functionalities
Take advantage of the description fields from the new scenario view to give the right context to your scenarios and keep track of all your scenario changes with the new scenario history. The scenario history is also particularly useful to compare versions of a scenario or restore a previous version.
Facilitate your decision-making by comparing KPIs from selected scenarios (or versions of a scenario) thanks to the new comparison view, which is accessible after adding scenarios to the new comparison basket. You can compare scenarios from the same milestone or from different milestones from the same project.
Perform deeper optimization analyses with more accessible and interactive tools
Access the new Result section and leverage powerful analysis tools such as demand/lot summary tables, an allocation chart and a new Result dashboard.
As the input data is now directly related to the result you are analyzing, you can easily understand the inputs used to generate a given result.
Access the new Result dashboard to perform a deep-dive analysis of your result KPIs, e.g., number of lots released, total manufacturing cost, time margin between release date and first usage of lot, lot allocation ratio, lot genealogy. The six different sheets of the dashboard will help you answer specific questions such as:
- Which are the lots coming next in the short term?
- Do I have enough time between my release and its usage? For which lot am I working just-in-time?
- Do I have a poor allocation ratio? Where is it located? Is it long or short term?
