Creating planning systems
Today, it is no longer enough for companies to optimize merely their internal production volumes. In the long term, they will be successful only if they also plan and control external services volumes in a targeted manner. Accordingly, the challenges in designing complete value-added chains have increased.
An essential component of supply chain management (SCM) is global supply chain planning. This takes place in a very challenging environment:
- Fluctuating demand
- Difficult requirements forecasting
- Increasing item diversity
- Ever shorter product lifecycles
- Lean production systems
- Suppliers spread throughout the world
- Supply risks
Due to the diverse number of planning parameters, it becomes a complex endeavor to coordinate customer requirements with delivery using planning and control processes. The following approaches can be of support here:
- Segmentation of logistics services
- Standardization and increased efficiency of processes
- Coordination or avoidance of organizational interfaces
- Integration of systems, improved algorithms, high-performance planning tools, alert functionalities
- Qualification of employees
