SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING
Supply Chain Planning with Asprova SCP
End-to-end and cross-plant planning, control, and synchronization of the company-wide supply chain.
Supply Chain Planning
Your Supply Chain from a Holistic Perspective
- Products can have upstream and downstream processes across different plants. Without proper planning software, it's impossible to utilize resources optimally.
- Asprova SCP considers bottleneck processes, finite resource capacities and factory constraints across all factories to assign orders optimally.
- Map your company’s entire logistics network in Asprova SCP—from suppliers to factories, logistics centers, and transport resources.
- SCP software registers factory outputs, various transport routes and resources, as well as the distribution of goods to logistics centers and customers.
Comprehensive Optimization
- Gain a complete overview of your entire supply chain, including material movements between all nodes.
- With Asprova SCP, you can maintain minimal inventory, operate resources optimally, and achieve impeccable delivery performance throughout the entire value-added chain.
- Combined with Asprova APS for the scheduling of individual factories, Asprova SCP creates the perfect conditions to increase efficiency in all areas of the entire group.
Highlights
- Planning with finite resource capacities.
- Achieve optimal results through adaptable pegging conditions and a freely configurable planning logic.
- Precise order calculations, including their connections.
- Complete visualization of order throughput across the entire value-added chain.
- Short planning cycles to react to inquiries quickly.
- KPI calculation for a variety of factors, including efficiency of the entire value chain.
End-to-End
What’s in the Supply Chain Plan?
Customer/Supplier
The customer-supplier relationship.
Items
Items, production time, lot sizes, and many more factors are defined to let Asprova determine replenishment order quantities, daily material requirements (for stock orders), etc.
Supply/Demand
Demand and inventory (supply minus demand) can be checked for all items and plants. It is possible to adjust for time periods of day, month and year. Shortages are high-lighted for immediate identification.
Factories
Items produced in various factories are displayed together with production capacities and performance levels.
Transportation
Transportation routes are defined for every product, including means of transportation (such as by truck, train, air freight, sea freight) that run between factories, suppliers, logistics centers and customers. This includes start times, lead times, time constraints, priorities, validity conditions, and costs.
Logistics Centers
Minimum stocks for every item can be set per logistics center. Asprova SCP automatically generates replenishment orders (for in-house production or procurement) based on forecasts and customer orders, with exact timing and required quantities.
Data Transfer
- Various order types and forecasts (e.g., for 24 months) can be registered.
- Data can be entered directly into Asprova or imported from another data source, such as an ERP system.
- Asprova SCP generates order- and delivery plans as well as manufacturing plans (rough) for all order across all factories.
Improve Your Supply Chain Planning
Plan Evaluation & KPI
Data-Driven Decision Making
- Asprova automatically evaluates and documents every planning run and planning results. By comparing the results, optimal planning scenarios can be determined.
- Asprova provides calculation on more the 100 key performance indicators by default, including: on-time delivery reliability, throughput time, inventory changes, resource productivity, and resource capacity.
- For each planning scenario, Asprova automatically calculates monetary KPI such as profit, profit margin, revenue, total cost, material costs, delivery costs, labor costs, and resource yield percentage. These KPI provide crucial support for making long-term management plans.
- You can also create custom KPI.
Visual Management
Absolute Clarity in the Supply Chain
- The entire value chain is represented in Asprova SCP in an overview with possibility of an adjusted view according to your desired level of detail. Graphs, diagrams, and tables of various aspects can be combined freely for clear depiction of relationships between order, materials and resources.
- The Resource-Gantt-Chart displays the entire workflow chronologically. Therein included are all facilities and information relevant to production, including machines, workers, transportation times, etc. The entire value chain, including transportation routes, transportation resources, currently utilized resources, lead times, and much more can checked at a glance.
Transparency Throughout
- The Inventory Graph visualizes changes to inventory stocks of all items of all factories on a time axis.
- View all orders for up to several months in advance in the Order Gantt Chart. Check on orders quantity, delivery dates (including compliance and delay), processing time, waiting time, and much more. It is possible to monitor even the most complex order networks with ease!
- The Load Graph visualizes the planned utilization of all resources, making it easy to immediately identify bottlenecks.
