Supply Chain Execution

Together, advanced planning/scheduling and supply chain execution are the one-two punch of supply chain optimization. APS defines the plans and strategies; SCE puts them into action, applying not only strategic business rules at the operational level but also providing the means to measure actual results against plan, yielding key metrics that help managers keep a finger on the pulse of their business and financial optimization efforts.

SCE—It's All Business

• Fulfilling your order commitments when inventory is down
• Alerting managers about shipment problems
• Determining when—and how—to deploy replacement orders

SCE business processes and software are the engines that drive these decisions. They can provide tangible, actionable insights into what's really taking place within your supply chain at any given moment. They're not one-size-fits-all solutions, though, and that's why Plan4Demand adds such tremendous value in this second key area of supply chain management.

Our broad base of both business process experience and technical expertise gives us the insight and abilities to leverage both APS and SCE tools and resources to integrate and leverage important data from throughout your supply chain—to set up alerts and track events, yet balance the requirements and implications of sharing planning and execution data across both those domains.
