Supply Planning Process: Key Steps and Alignment PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 83-slide Supply Chain Strategy and Performance Management PowerPoint presentation, outlines the Supply Planning Process within Supply Chain Management (SCM), emphasizing a systematic approach to aligning demand forecasts with inventory management. It begins with the "Demand Plan," which serves as the foundation for subsequent steps. This phase likely involves analyzing market trends and customer needs to predict future demand accurately.

Next, the process moves to "Develop Inventory Plan." This stage is crucial as it translates the demand insights into actionable inventory strategies. It involves determining optimal stock levels to meet anticipated demand without overcommitting resources.

The slide then highlights the "Plan Inventory Deployment" phase. This step focuses on strategically positioning inventory across various locations to ensure timely availability while minimizing holding costs. It suggests a logistical consideration that balances supply with demand across the supply chain.

The "Generate Constrained Resource Plan" is another key component. This phase likely addresses potential limitations in resources, ensuring that the inventory plan is feasible given existing constraints. It emphasizes the importance of aligning resources with the planned inventory levels.

An essential part of this process is the "Hold Supply Alignment Meeting," which indicates a collaborative approach among stakeholders to ensure that all parties are aligned on supply strategies. This meeting likely serves as a checkpoint to review and adjust plans based on new information or changing circumstances.

Finally, the slide concludes with the directive to "Pass Recommended Buys to Procurement." This step signifies the transition from planning to execution, where the finalized inventory strategies are communicated to procurement teams for action. Overall, the slide presents a comprehensive view of the supply planning process, highlighting the interconnectedness of demand forecasting, inventory management, and resource allocation.
