Overview: Demand and Supply Planning and Fulfillment

You want to ensure that all distribution or production processes within your company or extended supply network are aligned with customer demands and that your sales plans are efficiently accomplished by your operations. At the same time you want to know what materials and capacity constraints can be resolved and how resources can be aligned based on customer or business priorities. Your ultimate goal is to give your customers precise delivery dates and consistently meet them. For that purpose you want to understand how your supply network can respond and have the planning capability to rapidly and flexibly meet dynamic requirements.
