Determine where and when to make, buy, store, and move product through your network.

Once a company has designed its network for manufacturing, storing, and distributing its products more efficiently, the challenge becomes a tactical one: coordinating the flow of product according to the dynamic change of its demand mix.

Infor SCM Tactical Planner does this work for you, helping you determine where and when to make, buy, store, and move product through your network to your customers. It provides a time-phased plan of material movement through your enterprise, trading off capacities and the cost of multiple options to deliver a plan that’s not only optimized for service, but also for profit.

Infor’s tactical planning solution helps companies like yours:

  • Balance manufacturing, inventory, purchasing, and transportation trade-offs
  • Deliver plans optimized for capacity and cost
  • Allocate product to the most profitable customers during peak demand periods
  • Respond rapidly to changes in the demand mix to re-route product accordingly

 

Leading Fortune 100 companies use Tactical Planner to boost service and profit performance by dynamically aligning supply with the demand mix from forecasts or orders. You can calculate a time-phased plan of product that needs to flow through every stage of your network to satisfy customer demand and make optimal choices by trading off capacity and cost options from your network design. Product can be allocated to your most profitable customers during peak demand or material flows re-routed from other sources in the event of disruption to your normal supply routes. Make or buy decisions are built into the process. Graphical mapping makes it possible to solve a complex problem and illustrate the solution with easy-to-understand views of product flows across your enterprise.
