Production Planning
Reflex Supply Planning software has been designed to automate as much of the replenishment plan as possible. It can be used to drive efficiencies within the company's production and warehouse structure and, in collaboration with suppliers, to provide a highly efficient inter-enterprise replenishment process.
Reflex Supply Planning provides future visibility of customer demands, your product and material requirements, and the actions needed by your suppliers to satisfy those requirements.
Alternative scenarios of the plan can be modelled and compared to assess the impact of changes on the supply chain.
Reflex Supply Planning is exception driven. It enables planners to quickly focus on those situations where supply and demand are out of balance. As a result, planners can spend their time making informed decisions about resource allocation, expediting orders and protecting customer service, instead of managing routine replenishment orders which Reflex Supply Planning will handle automatically.
Reflex Supply Planning anticipates and averts problems such as stock-outs and out-dated inventory. Minimizing obsolescence, the solution presents planners with economically sound options - and pleased customers.
Reflex Supply Planning provides for long term Capacity Planning by Production Line or Work Centre, taking into account specific factory calendars to account for holidays, shutdowns, and factory maintenance.
The output of the capacity planning process includes a labour plan and feeds directly into both the supply plan and MPS requirements. Consideration is taken of stock build requirements to meet planned seasonal peaks and the Safety Stocks to support them. The process analyses gaps between available capacity and demand, creating a smoothed production plan.
Planning methods such as MTO, PTO, MTS, PTS are all supported, as are algorithms for prorating plans across multiple hierarchies.
