Efficient supply chain planning: strategies for your success
Less chaos. More control.
Optimize your supply chain - data-based and future-proof.
Supply chain planning is the key to an efficient and cost-effective supply chain. It involves the strategic coordination of demand, production, inventories and logistics in order to provide goods and services on time and reliably.
The coordination of all the departments involved - with completely different focal points and issues - makes the whole thing very complex.
But that is not the only challenge. Strong fluctuations in demand, rising costs and dynamic global developments make precise planning on top difficult.
The good news: With integrated planning approaches (e.g. S&OP, IBP or xp&A) and the support of modern technologies, these hurdles can be overcome and competitive advantages secured! Take the first step and optimize your supply chain!

"We were in the right place with celver all along the way: In the classic consulting service, process development, process installation - how will we go through this integrated planning system, but we were also able to implement best practices with celver."
Type 3: Process requirements unknown
Would you like to get a grip on stock problems and delivery bottlenecks through more precise planning? That's a good idea. But before you look for a suitable planning solution, you should analyze your current processes in detail and define specific goals for the solution.
The plan for planning
In our projects, we therefore start by creating a "process map" that visually depicts all the key steps and factors in the planning process. Weak points, dependencies and optimization potential quickly become visible.
This procedure provides the perfect basis for modeling your ideal target planning process and thus also shows the essential criteria for the subsequent tool selection. The multi-stage approach enables the inclusion of all aspects from the various specialist areas and provides valuable orientation points for the alignment and further development of the planning solution.
Multi-stage development of the ideal planning solution
"In a 2-day offsite workshop, we managed to develop the basic concept for our current S&OP process. This was the basis for a month-long detailed process definition, which serves as a blueprint for the development of our S&OP solution on board."
