Digital Integrated Planning
Integrated planning has been the major approach among various supply chain structures to synchronize business decisions. With the help of integrated planning, companies obtain:
- A holistic and comprehensive view of the business
- Identify and manage physical flows, information flows and financial flows across the value chain.
- Alignment across different functions, departments, and business units
- Informed and data-driven decision-making.
- Optimization of resources across the organization (i.e., reduced waste, efficient production planning)
- One-number-for-all company
- Improvement of the organization's agility and adaptability
- Risk mitigation with simulation methods
- Framework for performance measurement and tracking
Digital transformation of the supply chains brings the enablement of data-driven integrated planning by streamlining the processes and optimizing business outcomes with various connected advanced analytics solutions. Performance of supply chains evolves from functional focus to internal integration, then through external integration and finally cross-enterprise collaboration.
