i2 Allocation and Replenishment Management

i2 Allocation and Replenishment Management (ARM) enables the creation of feasible and actionable plans that account for plan targets and constraints in a connected multi-level supply chain. Given that most fashion products go through a push (initial allocation)—pull (back-to-sales replenishment)—push (end-of-life or markdown) lifecycle, i2 ARM enables basics replenishment planning and fashion allocations in a single system. To ensure that the plans are executable, i2 ARM accounts for supply and capacity constraints to create feasible plans over time, every time. Also, the plans are created on a connected supply chain—from vendor to distribution center to store—in a single model.

Capabilities of i2 ARM include:

  • Time-phased demand and replenishment plans that provide improved visibility into inventory investment and product flow
  • Support for item availability, shipping, receiving and location calendars, effectively dates, pack multiples, and other hard supply chain constraints
  • Support for store and distribution center handling and storage capacities, vendor minimums,
    and other soft constraints
  • Restricted subsets available for interactive plan overrides
  • Advanced techniques for replenishing slow-moving SKUs, including rate of sale, presentation stock, lead and review time methods
  • Batch processing to support intelligent de-activation of slow-moving items
  • Integrated planning for turn and promotional items
  • Excess and constrained vendor and distribution center supply allocation workflows
  • End-of-season “must-ship” logic to push excess inventory

Benefits of i2 ARM include:

  • Better in-stock positions resulting in higher customer satisfaction and better promotional effectiveness
  • Increased inventory productivity
  • Lower supply chain costs
  • An industry-specific reference data model that supports more responsive and consistent allocation and replenishment
  • Productivity improvements by managing by exception, and the ability to re-plan rapidly
