Supply Chain Planning

Our team has extensive experience in supply chain planning processes in in multiple industries (pharmaceutical, food&beverage, life sciences, fashion&retail, discrete, etc.). 

Our added value includes orchestrating people, processes, and technologies and working in synergy. 

We draw the right path to help our customers achieve transparency throughout the supply chain.

Advantages of having an Integrated Business Planning 

Integrated Business Planning tool covers all essential aspects of the supply chain, such as Demand Planning, Supply and Distribution Planning, Sales & Operations Planning, Response Planning and Inventory. 

The highlighted benefits are: 

• What-if analysis exploring all available alternative plans to determine the best way forward
• Real-time analytics
• End-to-end collaboration; from demand planning to the warehouse allowing a collaboration with an extended network and create a unified and structured plan, facilitated by the right combination of technological features

Demand Planning

We help our customers to obtain better planning and strategic execution by developing an accurate forecast of demand plans. We achieve our business and organizational goals by leveraging the statistical methods, forecasting (demand forecasting), consensus realization, and demand sensing offered by Demand Planning tools.  

To be precise, Demand Forecasting radically improves the capacity of learning models and anticipates problems to suggest and regulate shared action plans. 

Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) significantly enables the S&OP component. 

Response & Supply

We collaborate with our customers to steer through fluctuating market demands and meet the needs of their customers. We leverage this module to generate What-If analyses providing decisive insights into the potential scenarios.  

This includes supply planning, strategic production plan management, allocations, distribution planning, and order rescheduling. 

Sales & Operations Planning

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) balances supply and demand, integrating financial and operational planning into a single S&OP process linked to high-level strategic and medium and long-term operational plans. 

The S&OP process, which typically takes place every month, aligns operational areas such as sales, marketing, product development, manufacturing, procurement, finance, and accounting to work synergistically concerning business objectives. 

Inventory

Inventories are the backbones of the supply chain, as they maintain the steady flows of products in the market, making their optimization more critical than ever. We utilize Inventory Optimization algorithms to manage the supply chain risks, which mainly include demand volatility.  

We use this algorithms to support our customers in providing enhanced customer services, ultimately improving the user experience. In addition, with the inventory optimization module, we help our customers contribute more to maximizing the warehouse and working capital efficiency by reducing production and distribution costs.  

Lastly, it is also possible to leverage the DDMRP methodology (Demand-Driven Material Requirement planning) to ensure inventory availability at the right time in the right place!
