Supply Network Planning (SP)

Product Purpose

The SP solution is a powerful and multifunctional tool designed to manage and optimise supply chains across various planning horizons. It enables the creation of optimal production, procurement, and inventory management plans, significantly reducing the risk of shortages and improving overall operational efficiency. Cost and margin analysis at each stage of the supply chain helps identify the most efficient ways to reduce costs and increase profitability.

Relevance for Companies

SP helps businesses balance trade-offs between key operational factors such as availability and fluctuating lead times, service levels, costs, and margins—supporting sustainable growth and market competitiveness.

Industry Specifics

The SP solution is designed for manufacturing companies operating complex supply chains in industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and FMCG. It is also beneficial for distributors without their own production facilities.

Main Functionality

Inventory management: Optimises inventory levels, minimizing the risks of shortages and write-offs, thereby improving efficiency.
Cost and margin optimisation: Identifies optimal decisions to reduce costs and increase profitability by analysing cost and margin data across all supply chain stages.
Multi-level production planning: Allows detailed planning at different levels, balancing competing priorities.
Scenario analysis: Increases planning flexibility and responsiveness to changing conditions.
Integration with external systems: SP integrates with various customer systems, forming a unified digital ecosystem and reducing the risk of errors.
