Results
MAIN ADVANTAGES
Data synchronization and information flow
Data synchronization and information flow between Demand Planning, Supply Network Planning, Production Planning, Detailed Scheduling and to all stakeholder in order to improve communication
Aggregation / disaggregation logics
Aggregation / disaggregation logics along all levels of the network ensure a consistent planning approach throughout the Supply Chain
Cost-based optimization
The optimizer uses a cost-based optimization, considering all capacity constraints and material availability in the Supply Network. Optimization determines the optimal solution based on predefined costs for supply alternatives and demands. The optimizer will balance orders to minimize the overall cost of the generated plan.
