Challenge: Enhancing Service, Revenue
and Growth while Minimizing Working
Capital Investment
Transforming the supply chain into a source of competitive advantage is challenging amidst elongated lead times stemming from globalization and consolidation, economic uncertainty and rising costs. Retailers and suppliers must discover better, more innovative ways of reducing operational costs and working capital investment while also driving continuously improved customer service, revenue and growth. Achieving true optimization requires more than today’s status-quo daily planning and execution – it requires next-level supply chain network and inventory optimization.
Solution: Strategic Supply Chain Planning with
Innovative Network and Inventory Optimization
Companies can achieve higher customer service with lower resource investment now. JDA’s innovative Network & Inventory Optimization solution provides strategic, end-to-end capabilities to evaluate, design, optimize and ultimately transform your supply chain network – whether you are looking to expand or simply optimize your current network resources. Decreasing working capital investment while enhancing service performance enables you to free-up cash for funding growth strategies and product innovations, reducing debt-to-asset ratios and enhancing financial viability.
Make-to-stock or make-to-order, this solution can be deployed across industry sectors – from food and beverage, consumer durables and apparel and fashion to life sciences and aerospace and defense. Built on our proven Enterprise Architecture to support global planning, it delivers unparalleled performance and scalability.
Optimizing Network and Inventory Performance
Replace traditional statistics, safety stock and spreadsheets with Network & Inventory Optimization to redefine your supply chain network and inventory performance. The solution eliminates inconsistent, ad-hoc planning and subjective problem solving previously driven by individual planners by leveraging enterprise-level monitoring and optimization, best-practice algorithms and supply chain planning integration capability.
You will increase planning productivity, significantly decreasing manual analysis while also benefiting from a low-risk
implementation – whether deployed as standalone or integrated to other JDA Supply Chain Planning & Optimization solutions. Powerful optimization algorithms leverage demand forecast data, sales history, manufacturing and distribution assets, and transportation networks to evaluate all options in determining optimal sourcing, facility selection, long-range capacity planning, service levels and inventory targets for each product-location. Time-phased execution accounts for demand trends and seasonality effects, and the solution also considers existing multi-echelon network complexity, lead times, costs, constraints, plus demand and supply variability.
Strategic and Tactical Supply Chain Visibility
Gain the supply chain visibility and advance information you and your stakeholders need to make the best strategic and tactical decisions. Our solution uses deterministic and stochastic optimization along with comprehensive cost and constraints capabilities all packaged in a flexible user-interface. Interactive graphical supply chain and analysis workbenches enhance information delivery.
The first steps in network optimization involve network design, sourcing optimization and capacity optimization:
Network Design: Provides a strategic view, effectively modeling
the comprehensive network – including suppliers, plants, distribution centers, stores and customers – to optimize your baseline and reveal total supply chain costs and margins.
Sourcing Optimization: Provides a holistic view of time-phased
sourcing and resource utilizations – displaying total supply chain costs and margins in monthly or quarterly periods for trend, seasonality or promotional impact analysis.
Capacity Optimization: Enables leveraging of finite capacity and
network resources based on changes to demand plans, resource constraints, inventory policies, and production, carrying and transportation costs.
Cost and Constraints Optimization, Planning
for Uncertainties
Further optimize your network with Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization. JDA Network & Inventory Optimization supports critical inventory management policy decisions – including optimal re-ordering point, safety stock and average/maximum stock level determinations – by leveraging risk-pooling effects and service-level mix optimization. Ensuring minimized total working capital investment helps you achieve target revenue and service performance.
Take the next strategic planning step by incorporating working capital budget as a constraint in your multi-echelon inventory optimization process. You can then optimize your service-level mix across all network items and locations while gaining feasible, realistic and detailed visibility into how your working capital is used to generate revenue and satisfy customer service. Only with JDA’s Network & Inventory Optimization do you have the comprehensive ability to optimize strategic network and inventory performance with budget consideration.
Additionally, Network & Inventory Optimization helps you mitigate uncertainties and plan future growth with advanced what-if contingency planning and analysis. With scenario management, you will be well-positioned to handle strategic expansion, environmental or political uncertainties, or other unknowns.
Integrated Supply Chain Planning
The solution can be leveraged as standalone, or more extensively to handle your daily supply chain planning needs with integration as part of a comprehensive supply chain solution. Network & Inventory Optimization’s single shared data model seamlessly integrates with JDA Demand, Fulfillment and Master Planning, combining to provide unsurpassed supply chain visibility and optimization, best practices and user-friendly analysis. The shared data model across solutions enables you to customize based on your particular business needs while minimizing implementation and maintenance costs – leveraging additional solutions as your business and strategic initiatives evolve.
