Volume and option master planning involves the creation of optimized production, materials, inventory, transportation, and distribution plans, as well as the creation of sales allocations. These plans are based on inputs from sales forecasts, business plans, and financial plans. Included in this planning process is an integrated, consensus-based process for sales, marketing, production control, production, materials, and finance stakeholders within a company.
In conjunction with master planning, sales, inventory, and operations planning (SIOP) is enabled though rapid "what-if" analysis and scenario management support.
Key capabilities of the i2 solution for volume and option master planning can include:
- Ability to create a multi-plant supply chain model, including product mix
constraints, alternate resources, inventory targets, demand priorities, labor
constraints, supplier capacities, and transportation constraints
- Hierarchical, objective-based plan optimization
- Support for multiple plan scenarios
- " What-if " demand and capacity analysis
- Online analytics and notifications
Benefits of the i2 solution for volume and option master planning can include:
- Increased production throughput (asset productivity)
- Increased labor productivity Improved planner productivity
- Improved reaction time to supply chain dynamics and problems
