Heidelberger Druckmaschinen | IBP Demand Prototype & Implementation
Implementation of a highly automated, integrative sales planning solution with roll-out of a globally standardized planning process for consumer goods.
On the basis of an IBP Demand solution, we implemented a worldwide standardized planning solution for consumables together with the experts from CONSILIO. It enables us to make system-supported forecasts at the storage location level and offers attractive evaluation options for the optimisation of stock levels and delivery capability.
The Challenges
- Automation and interactive forecast generation with demand planning in ERP
- Delta integration of master and order data with rule-based assignment of dispatching areas
- Roll-out in EMEA, USA and APAC with a uniform planning process
Implementation Highlights
- Introduction of a system-supported worldwide consolidated demand planning process with automatic forecasting
- Stock optimization through improved transparency in the coordination and planning process
- Use of the user-friendliness and graphic possibilities of a modern planning tool
- Improvement of the information flow from the sales side through direct integration into the planning
