Sales forecasts — Demand Planning: Anticipate demand with precision

Demand Plan­ning’s pri­or­i­ty is to alert the fore­cast­er at each peri­od to the items for which his exper­tise is need­ed. For oth­er items, pow­er­ful algo­rithms reduce the need for month­ly and man­u­al revisions.

The mod­ule’s library of algo­rithms makes it pos­si­ble to adapt fore­casts accord­ing to prod­uct sales behav­ior: sea­son­al or inter­mit­tent, new prod­ucts or end-of-life, or so-called “errat­ic” prod­ucts. These algo­rithms can also be applied to the past, to cor­rect his­tor­i­cal behav­ior dur­ing recent major events. The sys­tem updates itself with new data to adjust forecasts. 

Among these data, in addi­tion to sales his­to­ries, the user can add a lay­er of mar­ket intel­li­gence, user-defined met­rics and mul­ti-tier prod­uct hier­ar­chies to per­form analy­sis at the lev­el of aggre­ga­tion required by each customer.

The result is faster reac­tions to changes to meet cus­tomer ser­vice objectives.

In short, Demand Plan­ning is : 

• Work by alert, focused on items that require it
• Cal­cu­la­tion of sta­tis­ti­cal fore­casts from your his­tor­i­cal data or oth­er sources
• Man­ag­ing the intro­duc­tion of new products
• Pro­mo­tions management
• Sta­tis­ti­cal cal­cu­la­tion of safe­ty stocks and stock targets
• Mul­ti-user
• Mul­ti­ple what-if scenarios
• Work­flow for month­ly validation/publication of a sin­gle fore­cast sce­nario use­ful to all lev­els of the company

Thanks to Demand Plan­ning:

• Adjust your fore­casts at will accord­ing to the com­mer­cial infor­ma­tion at your disposal
• Deter­mine the reli­a­bil­i­ty of your forecasts
• Com­mu­ni­cate with all com­pa­ny employees
• Gain effi­cien­cy with the excep­tion-based man­age­ment model
• Iden­ti­fy high-val­ue prod­ucts with ABC clas­si­fi­ca­tion management

Inventory planning: control your stock levels

The sec­ond tool in this mod­ule is Inven­to­ry Plan­ning, which cal­cu­lates safe­ty stock lev­els over a defined period. 

Inven­to­ry plan­ning antic­i­pates stock lev­els and ensures the right lev­el of respon­sive­ness to serve cus­tomers. Advanced mod­els bal­ance demand with sup­ply, tak­ing into account vari­abil­i­ty, uncer­tain­ty, lead-time and capac­i­ty constraints.

In short, Inven­to­ry Plan­ning is :

• the abil­i­ty to car­ry out safe­ty stock analy­sis sce­nar­ios by vary­ing var­i­ous impor­tant parameters
• short­en cycles, broad­en prod­uct ranges and become ever more customer-oriented
• cur­rent and pro­ject­ed inven­to­ry valuation

Thanks to Inven­to­ry Planning : 

• cal­cu­late your tar­get safe­ty stock lev­el accord­ing to your defined strat­e­gy (man­u­al, ser­vice rate, etc.). visu­al­ize ear­ly phase

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) or Plan Industriel et Commercial (PIC) — IBP: Align your activities for optimum performance

Sup­port­ing the S&OP process, IBP - Inte­grat­ed Busi­ness Plan­ning - syn­chro­nizes and enables the col­lab­o­ra­tion of S&OP play­ers through­out the com­pa­ny. Var­i­ous work­flow mod­els facil­i­tate the reg­u­lar reviews required, and the align­ment between fore­cast­ing, sup­ply and sales oper­a­tions. Final­ly, they high­light the var­i­ous poten­tial imbalances. 

In short, IBP is :

• Finan­cial rec­on­cil­i­a­tion and cen­tral­iza­tion of strate­gic sales and pro­duc­tion information
• Fast, effi­cient S&OP process man­age­ment (work­flow and alerts)
• Advanced man­age­ment of sim­u­la­tion sce­nar­ios for easy analy­sis and exchange
• Review of assump­tions and amendments

Thanks to IBP :

• sim­u­late an infi­nite num­ber of sce­nar­ios with all the essen­tial finan­cial dimensions,
• you are guid­ed in resolv­ing capac­i­ty constraints, 
• sup­port inven­to­ry, growth and per­for­mance objectives.

Supply Planning: Efficiently manage your supplies and inventories

Supply Planning: Optimize your resources for a fluid supply chain

In response to the request, the com­pa­ny needs to quick­ly and accu­rate­ly assess its capa­bil­i­ties, costs, and dif­fer­ent options with­in the giv­en time­frame. Sup­ply Plan­ning’s high­ly con­fig­urable solu­tion adapts to a com­pa­ny’s chang­ing envi­ron­ment to iden­ti­fy the opti­mum use of resources across mul­ti­ple sites, while tak­ing into account life­times and cycle times.

In short, Sup­ply Plan­ning is :

• opti­mized medi­um- and long-term glob­al planning
• con­strained and opti­mized sup­ply chain plan­ning: capac­i­ty, mate­ri­als, inven­to­ry and distribution
• com­bined replen­ish­ment and con­strained planning
• cre­ation of sce­nar­ios to work out hypothe­ses before trans­mit­ting con­strained plans to ERP

• incor­po­rate your dis­tri­b­u­tion, pro­duc­tion and pro­cure­ment alternatives
• use Inven­to­ry Plan­ning stock data

Scheduling — Production Scheduler: Plan your production operations with precision

The Pro­duc­tion Sched­uler mod­ule enables you to sched­ule your finite-capac­i­ty process plants and gen­er­ate pro­duc­tion plans, tak­ing into account all pos­si­ble pro­duc­tion and sup­ply alter­na­tives. All with the aim of obtain­ing an opti­mized plan in terms of changeover times, resource uti­liza­tion and sequence of pro­duc­tion orders.

In short, Pro­duc­tion Sched­uler is :

• Syn­chro­nized plan­ning for all plants, by pro­duc­tion line and stage 
• One-stop man­age­ment of process, mix­ing, sta­bi­liza­tion, ster­il­iza­tion, inter­me­di­ate and final stor­age tanks.
