Project team members responsible for production activities and
material flow through the entire supply chain, creating and optimizing
bucket-oriented distribution and production plans.
Overview of Supply Chain Planning in APO
Optimize decisions where to build new locations based on the material
flow and costs (Network Design)
Launch queries to analyze the planning situation of the Supply Chain
using the Supply Chain Cockpit (stocks, orders, resource loads)
Gain a fundamental understanding of exception based planning in the
Alert Monitor
Define the layout of the planning table using planning books and
macros
Collaborative planning (data exchange with customers and suppliers)
Emphasize differences between the strategies to allocate demand
and supply (Supply Network Planning Heuristics, Optimization,
Capable-to-Match and Propagation)
Use Supply Network Planning to create planned and transport orders
for the whole network
Use Deployment in the short term horizon. Calculate replenishment of
distribution centers and customers based on the actual produced
quantities
Use Transport Load Builder to ensure efficient transport loads
