SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING
Scope
When looking at improvements and issues throughout the supply chain it is very important to look at supply chain planning from a holistic, end to end, point of view. Improving supply chain execution is really about improving supply chain planning. All areas and aspects of the supply chain are intertwined and changes in one area will have a direct impact on other areas, making it important to study supply chain planning and the entire supply chain process. In our approach we will build a model, a digital twin of your supply chain. This model will be used to answer critical S&OP questions when looking at demand, production, inventory, and more to optimize the supply chain planning and execution.
Objectives
Go from siloed to connected planning by consolidating the supply chain planning process from numerous spreadsheets to one comprehensive solution that optimizes the total supply chain.
Build a digital twin of your supply chain and simulate different supply chain strategies to:
Optimize supply chain process
Maximize profit
Increase customer service levels
Reduce inventory level
Increase asset utilization
Determine KPIs and metrics to measure and track
Deliverables
Improved Supply chain planning processes
Consolidated planning strategy
A model of your supply chain that acts as a digital twin to answer the following questions:
What is the optimal working capital?
What is the optimal planning horizon?
What is the potential for planning improvement throughout the model?
