Procurement Planning

Along with a best estimate of future demand, your enterprise needs to align with an accurate forecast of future supply to:

  • Reduce material costs
  • Lower transportation costs
  • Improve speed to market
  • Mitigate supply chain risk

Key Challenges

  • Insufficient forecast accuracy - Customer behavior is often erratic and without reliable demand data from within and outside your organization, it is difficult to generate an accurate supply plan

  • Seasonality and demand spikes - Overlooking seasonal inventory requirements or new trends results in a strain on your suppliers

  • Increasing customer expectations - You rely heavily on supplier performance to align with your customers’ expectations and demands on stock availability and on-time deliveries

Capabilities

  • Supplier calendars
  • QAD’s solution considers the supplier's capacity to receive an order and deliver an order, crucial to avoiding stock outs.
  • Requirements calculator
  • You can utilize several different replenishment models to determine procurement requirements, including reorder-point quantity, days of supply, forecast driven and others.

  • Prescriptive logic
  • Your organization can utilize logic to partially expedite future requirements to maximize the utilization of a truck, shipping container or other transport option.
  • S&OP support
  • Automatically makes supply plans and simulated scenarios available to your S&OP/IBP processes for tactical planning and closing the planning loop.
