What Supply Chain Planning Entails
Supply chain planning is a subdivision of supply chain management, together with supply chain execution. Supply chain planning is the coordination of assets to balance supply and demand. It entails the steps an enterprise takes to anticipate what it needs to successfully exploit sales and revenue opportunities, in the most cost-effective and timely manner. The process consists of using the right systems and tools to predict the demand and then, to fulfil the demand. Firstly, demand planning is performed to predicted sales. For this, historical patterns and statistics are used to project anticipated demand. Once the anticipated demand has been determined, the operations behind this take place namely material requirements planning, production planning, replenishment planning and inventory planning. Lastly, it is beneficial for all the relevant key performance indicators and metrics to be captured in dashboards and workbenches by industry for key stakeholders to measure performance and to identify continuous improvement opportunities.
Why Supply Chain Planning Is Important
Supply chain planning can offer far-reaching benefits for your entire enterprise, including:
- A reduction in working capital and optimisation of operating costs
- An increase in sales opportunities
- Improved customer satisfaction
- Lowered overhead and production costs
- More accurate alignment of consumer demand and production processes
- More streamlined and organised relationships with suppliers
- Access to accurate inventory data that improves inventory management functions
- Transparent, real-time data through live analytics dashboards
- Improved visibility of inefficiencies and “waste” in the supply chain activities and processes
