Supply chain planning requires coordination of key processes
6-4
•
Supply chain visibility is the ability to track
inventory and resources
–
Information about available resources is
effectively evaluated and managed
–
Requires exception management of potential
problems as they are identified
Factors that drive effective planning
6-5
•
Simultaneous resource consideration is the
ability to include demand, capacity, material
requirements, and constraints in defining
alternatives
–
Enables identification of trade-offs that can
increase functional costs, but lower total system
costs
Factors that drive effective planning
6-6
•
Resource utilization is a coordinated
approach to making functional resource trade-
offs
–
Considers service requirements while
minimizing combined supply chain resources
–
Critical capability when firms emphasize overall
asset utilization
Factors that drive effective planning
6-7
•
Common software applications for most planning environments include
–
Demand planning
–
Production planning
–
Logistics planning
•
These applications can be sourced from the following options
–
Custom developed for the organization
–
Packaged solutions contained in a larger supply chain management system
–
Modules within an ERP system
Supply chain planning applications overview
6-8
•
Demand management system is the information technology component of the sales and operations planning (S&OP)
process
•
Demand management develops the forecasts used by other supply chain processes to anticipate sales levels
–
Demand management processes must integrate
•
Historical forecasts
•
Promotional plans
•
Pricing changes
•
New product introductions
•
Forecasts are then used to determine production and inventory requirements
•
Must maintain forecast data consistency across multiple products and warehouse facilities
Demand planning
6-9
•
Production planning uses requirements from demand management to develop a realistic manufacturing plan
–
Must integrate with manufacturing resources and constraints
•
Requirements plan defines what items are needed and when
•
Production planning systems match the requirements plan with the production constraints
–
Limitations include facility, equipment and labor availability
•
Effective planning creates a time-sequenced plan to manufacture the correct items in a timely manner while operating
within constraints
Production planning
6-10
•
Logistics planning integrates overall movement demand, vehicle availability, and relevant movement
cost into a decision support system that seeks to minimize overall freight expense
–
Analysis suggests ways freight can be shifted among carriers or consolidated to lower expenses
•
Overcomes these problems resulting from individual perspectives
–
Limited economies of scale
–
Limited information sharing
–
Excessive transportation expense
Logistics planning

+ Forecasts (sales, marketing input, histories, accounts)
+ Customer orders (current orders, future committed orders, contracts)
+ Promotions (promotion, advertising plans)

•
Sales & operations planning is an integrated combination of
–
Information systems (financial, marketing and supply chain planning)
–
Organizational processes
–
Personal responsibility and accountability
Sales & operations planning (S&OP)
•
Using this S&OP combination, the operations and
sales groups must overcome conflicts to develop
consensus and then execute their collaborative plans
6-13
Traditional conflicts between sales and operations groups must be resolved to reach
consensus

•
Functional leadership from all key operating areas must be committed to the S&OP
process and be responsible for achieving success
–
Tie manager’s compensation to successful S&OP performance
–
Include regular involvement and accountability at the general management level
Making S&OP work in an organization requires senior leadership
involvement
6-16
•
Executing the process every month
•
Process ownership and clarity of roles and responsibilities
•
Organizational commitment to achieving high forecast accuracy
•
Focus should be on the next 3 to 12 months
•
One integrated plan that integrates the actions of the entire organization
•
Senior management decision making
•
Measuring end-to-end supply chain performance
•
S&OP forecast versus operating plan or budget

•
Facilitates more effective planning with shorter cycle times.
•
Offer capability to consider the extended supply chain and make appropriate trade-offs to
achieve optimal performance.
•
More effective and responsive planning allows a more level assignment of resources for
existing sourcing, production, storage, and transportation capacity.
Supply chain planning benefits
6-21
•
Greater integration with enterprise financial plans.
•
Increased inclusion of strategic initiatives and activities.
•
Improved simulation and modeling of alternatives.
•
Easier translation between aggregate and detailed planning levels.
Benefits of integrated business planning
6-22
•
CPFR coordinates the requirements planning process between supply chain partners for
demand creation and demand fulfillment activities
–
Process initiated by the consumer products industry
•
Developed to reduce unplanned and uncoordinated events that distort the smooth flow of
product throughout the supply chain
Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR)
6-23
•
Develop a joint business plan
•
Create a joint calendar to determine product flow
•
Create a common sales forecast based on shared knowledge of each trading partner’s plan
–
Share common forecast between retailer and suppliers
–
Use an iterative process to share the forecast and requirements plan
•
Use the common sales forecast to develop
–
Production plan
–
Replenishment plan
–
Shipment plan

•
Forecast is the specific definition of what is projected
to be sold, when and where
•
Forecasting is a critical capability
–
Many logistics and supply chain activities must be
completed in anticipation of a sale
•
Forecasting approaches to achieve enhanced service
or reduced inventory
–
Improve forecast accuracy
–
Forecast at a higher level of aggregation
