Features
Sales and Operations Planning
Combine inputs from various sources to build an agreed Sales and Operations Planning commitment. The collaborative consensus demand can be mapped against the supply ability. Evaluate the significance of each action to reach a financially feasible and technically actionable strategic plan to be proposed in the executive sales and operations meeting for management approval.
Forecasting and Demand Management
Create a sound demand plan based on analysis of historic data patterns that recommend probable statistical forecast models and the ability to strategically segment data sets according to the product importance and variability. In the end, it must ensure planners focus their attention on the right products and key areas of statistical forecasting.
Inventory Planning and Optimization
Find the right balance between keeping working capital low while maximizing customer service levels and reducing inventory carrying using Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization. This may also include a strategic “what if analysis” to evaluate the target inventory level under various revenue and service assumptions.
Response and Supply Planning
Use various supply planning algorithms to satisfy demand requirements. An unconstrained heuristic, constrained optimization leveraging penalty costs and capacity restraints. A demand prioritization algorithm can also generate allocation plans, reconfirm sales orders, and create deployment plans while considering the modeled supply chain constraints.
Supply Chain Monitoring
Connect various relevant supply chain sources to obtain end-to-end visibility across your network providing insights into the current performance of the supply chain. Also, manage exceptions by creating custom alerts that help planners to respond quickly to dynamic changes.
