Starting from a demand plan, Supply Network Planning determines a permissible short- to medium-term plan for fulfilling the estimated sales volumes. This plan covers both the quantities that must be transported between two locations (for example, distribution center to customer or production plant to distribution center), and the quantities to be produced and procured. When making a recommendation, Supply Network Planning compares all logistical activities to the available capacity.

The Deployment function determines how and when inventory should be deployed to distribution centers, customers, and vendor-managed inventory accounts. It produces optimized distribution plans based on constraints (such as transportation capacities) and business rules (such as minimum cost approach, or replenishment strategies).

The Transport Load Builder (TLB) function maximizes transport capacities by optimizing load building

We use the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) component:

· To create procurement proposals for in-house production or external procurement to cover product requirements

·To optimize and plan the resource schedule and the order dates/times in detail

You can take the resource and component availability into account here. Above all, PP/DS is used to plan critical products, such as products with long replenishment lead times or products that are produced on bottleneck resources. You can use PP/DS to create executable production plans and:

·Reduce lead times

·Increase on-time delivery performance

·Increase the throughput of products and reduce the stock costs, through better coordination of resources, production, and procurement
