Companies with distribution-centric supply chains know exceptional service depends on having the right inventory in the right place at the right time. Sounds simple, but with extended, global networks, multiple warehouses, and ever-increasing product ranges, it can be anything but—unless you have the ability to automatically synchronize supply with demand to deliver more service with less inventory.
Infor SCM Replenishment Planner makes this possible. It results in better customer service and a leaner, more efficient distribution network by automatically calculating replenishment plans for all points in that network. When connected with Infor SCM Demand Planning, it synchronizes supply with demand, and any change—even scenario models—can be rippled through to quickly realign inventory, transport, manufacturing, and buying plans.
Relying on Infor’s solution to globally plan the replenishment of all products across five distribution centers, one branded consumer goods business reports a 20% increase in on-time deliveries, with a 22% decrease in finished goods inventory.
To synchronize the activities of thousands of product-location combinations, Replenishment Planner combines process automation with strong exception-driven capabilities to draw attention to and prioritize actions, protecting continuity of supply and safeguarding customer service. A rich, web-based interface gives your internal and external users controlled access to customizable dashboards that reflect their role in the planning process.
To ensure minimal manual intervention and a faster, automated process, global demand plans create a pull-driven replenishment process, which takes into account existing stocks, planned movements, variable lead times, and any replenishment planning policies. When combined with Infor SCM Event Management, you gain a real-time, responsive, and adaptive SCM solution that helps you maximize service, while driving a leaner, more profitable distribution operation.
