Business Value

The Planning Optimization planning engine empowers businesses to streamline their planning processes, reduce costs, and improve service levels by enabling fast and accurate supply plans. This ultimately leads to a more agile and responsive supply chain. Planning Optimization now includes features that allow companies using lean manufacturing, catch weight pricing and measurement systems, and step consumption with process manufacturing to benefit from this planning engine.

Feature Details

Planning Optimization now provides the features required to support the following business processes:

  • Lean manufacturing: A production philosophy aimed at maximizing value for customers while minimizing waste. It originates from the Toyota production system and focuses on continuous improvement and operational efficiency.

  • Catch weight: A pricing and measurement system used primarily in the food industry, where products are sold based on their actual weight rather than a predetermined fixed weight. This is particularly important for items that naturally vary in size and weight, such as meat, seafood, and fresh produce.

  • Step consumption: Manages material consumption in a way that accommodates non-linear consumption rates based on production quantities.
