DEMAND & SUPPLY PLANNING

Context

Reliable sales forecasting and supply planning (Demand & Supply Planning) are essential for companies wishing to control their resources, optimize their costs and offer their customers outstanding quality of service.

In an ever-changing competitive environment, characterized by volatile demand, shorter lead times, wider product ranges, more promotions, more complex networks and pressure on inventory levels, rigorous supply chain management is of critical importance.

The growing complexity of this business environment has a direct impact on the performance of your supply chain, generating late deliveries, stock-outs, extended lead times, the bullwhip effect and a feeling of perpetual urgency.

However, with robust planning in place, you can anticipate these challenges by quickly adapting your strategy and optimizing your inventory management.

Although forecasts may be subject to an inherent margin of error, it is essential to rely on reliable data and use the right methodology to establish realistic forecasts.

WHY MAKE YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING MORE RELIABLE?

Customer service optimization

By making your planning more reliable, you can guarantee high-quality customer service by ensuring that products are available at the right time.

Accurate planning enables you to respond quickly to customer requests, minimize delivery delays and boost customer satisfaction.

Successful product launches

Robust planning is crucial when it comes to launching new products or replacing existing ones.

By anticipating demand and effectively planning the necessary resources, you can ensure the success of these important initiatives for your company.

Efficient resource allocation

Reliable planning enables you to adjust resources as closely as possible to your needs.

By correctly sizing your teams and tools according to forecast demand, you can optimize resource utilization and reduce operating costs.

Inventory reduction

Accurate planning helps optimize stock levels, avoiding over-stocking that ties up financial resources and stock-outs that affect your business.

By aligning forecast demand with your supply chain capabilities, you can reduce storage and inventory management costs.

Strategic adaptability

By making your planning more reliable, you’ll have the precise, reliable data you need to make the right strategic decisions.

In-depth analysis of demand trends, customer behavior and external factors enables you to adapt your sales strategy, explore new opportunities and stay competitive in the marketplace.

COSTS REDUCTION

Unnecessary storage mobilizes capital and warehouse space, while under-stocking leads to rushed shipments and missed sales opportunities: the right balance needs to be found.

We develop strategies to reduce costs while ensuring optimized supply and distribution.

Managing inventory levels is an integral part of overall supply chain planning.
