Advanced Replenishment Planning
SO99+ Replenishment automatically generates timephased replenishment and purchasing proposals, respecting factory lead times, initial allocation quantities and follow-on allocation plans.
It accurately factors in both internal deployment plans (between distribution centers, warehouses and stores) and outstanding orders from suppliers. In the face of changing seasonal demand or promotions, it generates pre-orders that reflect constraints such as warehouse storage space, transportation (full truck-load) capacity or product perishability requirements (expiration).
{slider Automatic replenishment|closed}
SO99 + Replenishment automatically generates proposals for sourcing or manufacturing taking into account previous planning steps: demand, stock and service. Plans provisioning across the network of distribution, taking into account physical constraints which may be for each sku. To calculate the DRP, firstly, is necessary to define the logistical network that can be composed by factories, warehouses, distribution centers, etc. Within the supply chain, the supply may be centralized (if a supplier delivers the goods in a single point) or decentralized (if delivery is at various points).
SO99 + Replenishment allows you to organize the replenishment across the logistics network managing orders properly and releasing purchase or manufacturing orders grouped according to the various restrictions of the suppliers and factories and different optimization criteria. It takes into account different usual cases, as, for example, group orders for minimum/maximum quantity, by supplier, by source, by optimization of containers/trucks.
The DRT (Distribution Requirement Tunneling) calculates in aggregate form the maximum and minimum needs with temporary depth curves. This aggregation of needs of sku-location, performed under the criteria of making or buying for the nodes of the top level of the distribution network, or transporting for lower level nodes, allows cuts by capabilities (either production or transport).
{slider Capacity validation}
The Master Plan generated may be contrasted with the capacity available to ensure their viability. In case that de need it must be greater than the declared capacity, the user has different alternatives to resolve the conflict: a) to advance production to lower load periods; b) to increase the capacity, by adding shifts, overtime or subcontracting operations; c) reduce lot sizes. In any case, simulations are required to analyze the different future strategies in this regard. SO99+ Replenishment includes verification of capacity as a functionality to be used where required.
{slider Preventive Management of emergencies}
SO99+ Replenishment automatically identifies situations where, within the period of exposure to risk, the current Master Plan leads to elevated risks of breakage or over-stock. In these cases, the intervention of the Planner has capital importance, moving it from being a mere executor to a true Manager of provisioning.
