APO, SPP, ICH, F&R which one to use

[Former Member]

Hi,

APO, F&R (Forecasting & Replenishment), Service Parts Planning (SPP), SNC-Customer Collaboration all of them have demand planning, Supply planning, capability. Thiough it is understood that F&R is meant for retail industry, SPP for service parts, SNC-Customer collaboration for Collaboration and APO for planning, they have their own advantages, limitation etc.

Has any one evaluated features/functionality of above tools for say demand/supply planning requirement.

Is there a possiblity of using SPP instead of APO(DP/SNP) or say using SNC-Customer collaboration or for that matter F&R.

Thanks

Hi Sharad,

Each application has its own functionalities and tools associated with it. Based on my evaluation, SNC is a tool more towards interactive in nature which involves client involvement. whereas other tools like APO, SPP, F & R are best planning tools which helps industries to carry out short term and long term planning.
