Process Manufacturing & Demand Planning

Discrete manufacturing assembles parts. Process manufacturing yields co-products and by-products from a formula, in batches whose attributes decide where they can be sold. The planning has to know the difference.

Formula to finished batch

What it covers

Material requirements planning

MRP runs producing planned orders with full pegging back to demand, organised into planning cycles and actions.

Demand forecasting

Forecasts with versions and snapshots, proportion profiles that push a top-level number down to the leaf, and forecast accuracy measured after the fact — so the plan improves.

Batch control

Batch attributes and values, and batch disposition, so material is released, quarantined or downgraded on its measured properties rather than its age alone.

Formula-based BOMs

Co-products, by-products and step consumption, giving a true yield instead of a single output line.

Commercial planning

Capacity reservation, coverage groups, channel inventory declarations and promotion events, so a campaign is planned against real capacity.
