Constraint-Based Supply Planning & Execution
Achieving the highest service levels at the lowest cost with constraint-based supply planning
Constraint-based supply planning and execution is a unique capability that enables companies and their trading partners to collaborate, create and execute supply plans that respect material and capacity constraints across the network.
Constraint-based planning improves productivity by automating the process of applying actual lead times, and supplier capacity and material constraints, enabling improved planning and execution decisions.
This paper explains the requirements and capabilities of constraint-based supply planning and execution, including:
- The role of contextual and dynamic "smart prescriptions"
- The importance of planning married to execution
- How advanced replenishment fits in
- Network Bill of Materials for constrained supply planning
- The role of concurrent demand, supply, and logistics planning and optimization
Learn how this critical capability can reduce expedites and waste, and improve customer service levels.
