The allocation management and optimization process "delivers" vehicles to certain markets and the vehicles are then allocated to the dealer level through sales organization strategies and rules. The dealer and customer ordering process is then executed within the envelope of these allocations.
Capabilities of the i2 solution for allocation management and optimization can include:
- Ability to model sales policies and sales organization hierarchy—world, countries, country regions, zones, and dealers
- Support for multiple allocation policies, including turn and earn,
first-come-first served, per forecast, fixed split and formula-based (e.g.
balanced scorecard)
- Support for time-phased allocation policies
Benefits of the i2 solution for allocation management and optimization can include:
- Reduced inventory
- Reduced administration costs for allocations
- Increased order promising reliability
- Improved flexibility in administering allocations
- Improved dealer satisfaction
