Touchless Inventory Deployment
WHY (Problem)
Despite the support from base planning systems like APO, Kinaxis Maestro, o9 etc., supply chain planners spend multiple hours each day manually deciding on inventory deployment.
This represents a significant investment of valuable employee time. Still, part of the planners' decisions are suboptimal, leading to service losses, increased costs, or excess inventory.
WHAT (Value)
Productivity
of material/location decisions fully automated.
of planners’ time is saved, previously spent on inventory deployment.
reduction in headcount, contingent upon organizational transformation following automation.
Time to Value
Complexity:
Decision quality
5-20% more accurate decisions, directly translating into higher order fulfillment rates, lower supply costs, and reduced inventory excess.
Unlimited potential to enhance operating logic to match business needs, without constraints of human capacity, capability or time.
Acceleration of supply daily cycle from hours to minutes
Acceleration of operating strategy change management acceleration from weeks to days, as no need to retrain people, just adjust parameters and test.
HOW (Solution)
We possess implementation know-how and pre-built inventory deployment algorithms to entirely automate the most complex, high volume Inventory Deployment decisions, starting from multiple data sources ETL (extract-transform load) to final decision output write-back to the system of the record. Our algorithms are augmenting planning systems-of-record.
Our algorithms are effectively stitching advanced heuristics with optimizations (MILP). Most business choices are embedded in a set of parameter workbooks, allowing for rapid implementation and value generation. This solution has been proven in the largest Fortune 100 companies and is designed to handle large data volumes, easy maintenance and ensure the stability of daily, mission-critical operations
