JD EDWARDS ENTERPRISEONE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION PLANNING

Do you want to reduce your inventory levels while improving your customer service at the same time? Do you want to reduce your supply chain planning cycle time to improve the responsiveness of your supply chain? JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Production and Distribution Planning optimizes the day-to-day flow of goods from procurement through manufacturing to distribution with real time visibility and event management. Simultaneously planning MPS, DRP and MRP to produce plans that respect constraints optimized around key cost drivers while ensuring that plans remain synchronized and acted upon among all locations within your supply chain network.

KEY FEATURES Plan movement of materials and products from procurement, through manufacturing and distribution Generate resource un-constrained or constrained production and distribution plans Reduce total supply chain costs through single-pass planning across supplier, distribution and manufacturing locations

The Issue: Feasible and Collaborative Plans for Your Supply Chain In today’s business-to-business environment, a collaborative supply chain is a must. Even simple supply chain networks pose many questions: What products to make and to ship? How much of each? From where would they be sourced? When should shipments be made? The combined answers to those and other planning questions have impact on profitability and customer service. At the heart of supply chain management is the question: What is the best way to coordinate the acquisition, production, storage, and movement of goods and materials across the supply chain to meet specific demand elements, such as customer orders, sales forecasts, or inventory level targets? The supply chain consists of physical locations through which raw materials and finished products flow and the resources that transport the goods between locations—from original suppliers to production plants, warehouses, and distribution centers, all the way to the final demand source, your customer. The supply chain plan is a statement of how to coordinate all material supply, production, and distribution. This plan requires more than addressing the basic questions of when and how much product to move from each location in the supply chain; it needs to consider material, storage, and transportation costs as wells as constraining factors such as supplier, production, storage, and transport capacities. This complexity of the planning process drastically increases with the number of products and locations involved. Using the traditional approach of planning materials, production, and distribution separately, systems may create feasible materials, production, and distribution plans. However, plans are no longer adequate if they are merely feasible – they need to be optimized. Plans must bring about the highest possible levels of customer service at the lowest possible cost.

Reduce planning cycles and inventories Real time messaging and alerts with automatic retraction and context-sensitive drilldowns Allow multiple planners to collaborate on the same plan in real time Optimize component and finished god substitutions Pool safety stock through dynamic networks to reduce risk of stock outs Reduce freight costs within network via transportation loading

The Solution: Dynamic Agility for All Phases of Your Supply Chain JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Production and Distribution Planning module provides a time-phased master production schedule and distribution plan based on dynamic sourcing, rather than restricting you to single-plant or warehouse sourcing.
