The impact of globalization on supply chains affects us all. As manufacturing supply consolidates and offshore operations become commonplace, the demands on a company’s distribution capabilities skyrocket. Expanding enterprises must contend with more products, inventory, distribution points, and complexity. Visibility also becomes an issue as supply chains merge, cross geographical boundaries, and encounter an abundance of systems.
Infor SCM Distribution Planning provides a single, enterprise-wide inventory replenishment plan for your network. Inventory is planned for every stock location. And distribution points are replenished to meet demand, delivering a global sourcing plan for manufacturers and suppliers. The result: complete visibility of supply and demand, synchronized to ensure greater fulfillment at lower costs.
Infor’s distribution planning solutions enable you to plan and gain visibility of the movement of inventory through a complex distribution network. You can establish service-level inventory targets for every product at every location. Replenishment plans automatically take into account lead times, planning policies, and sourcing alternatives to ensure better service at a lower cost by getting the right product to the right place at the right time.
