ERP systems typically have a great deal of overhead involved for managing stock transport, or replenishment, orders far into the future. Orders are subject to change as demand changes and as new orders materialize, and maintaining an accurate picture is often an enormous, tedious and time-consuming task.

However, if schedulers ignore this task, they must compensate by either summarizing demand over the entire global supply chain or ignoring it altogether, which limits their ability to schedule far out into the future.

Without a steady flow of timely replenishment orders, problems will arise such as not having sufficient inventory at the plant to meet the needs of the warehouse, or not getting material to the warehouse in time to support a particular order.

Our WAM Supply Chain Planning System addresses this issue with a comprehensive, fully-automated solution that takes the detailed work off the hands of the schedulers. Built into our solution is are integrated modules that support Distribution Replenishment Planning (DRP) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP). These integrated functions automatically create and maintain an up-to-date array of just-in-time recommended transports, repackages, production and raw material purchases.

Raw material inventories and replenishment orders are automatically monitored so that any change in your production schedule that renders raw material plans infeasible will trigger algorithms to re-plan optimal replenishment.

The system references an editable database of product formulations and replenishment algorithms which track the lead-time and typical lot size from each supplier. It uses this information when then automatically calculating the up-to-date array of:

• Recommended Transport Orders
  which are typically translated back to the ERP system according to a pre-defined time fence rules to ultimately become firm planned orders
• Recommended Repackages
  which account for the repackaging time and locations
• Recommended Production
  to maintain enough bulk material
• Recommended Purchases
  to purchase the right amount of raw materials at the right time

With this high level of automation, schedulers are able to remained focus on demand issues at the plant while knowing that the proper recommendations are always being made to keep inventory at the same ideal levels throughout the global supply chain.
