Close the distance between plans and operations
Forecasts, purchasing lead times, capacity and inventory often live in separate files. Establish ownership and refresh cadence, then show the implications of a planning change together.
Compare explicit scenarios
Explore demand increases, supply delays and capacity limits against service, inventory and cost. Keep simulation results distinct from observed performance and expose assumptions.
Separate recommendations from committed plans
Define approval, effective dates and change history before writing a plan to ERP or MES. Verify the result of each committed change.
Prepare a useful pilot
Gather item and location records, demand history, stock, open orders, lead times and production constraints. Forecast accuracy and inventory savings cannot be promised before evaluating the customer's data.
