Supply Chain Planning
Infor Supply Chain Planning is a software platform containing these modules:
- Demand Forecasting for creating a statistical forecast
- Supply Planning for creating a (cost-) optimized and constrained allocation of the supply.
Infor Demand Forecasting
Infor Demand Forecasting uses advanced time-series forecasting methods, machine learning, and modern technology to streamline and expedite the forecasting process.
The application uses embedded integration, live integration, and task-specific wizards to support a streamlined experience for Infor M3 CloudSuite industries. Wizards generate a fast and cost-efficient setup that helps organizations achieve a rapid time to value. Infor Demand Forecasting supports a work-by-exception process that promotes team collaboration. The application improves forecast accuracy, plan performance, and refines operational goals to meet demand. This strategy ensures strong service levels at a lower cost, while maintaining a sharp focus on customer satisfaction and market adaptability.
Infor Supply Planning
Infor Supply Planning is a component of Infor Supply Chain Planning. This component facilitates visual analysis and creates comprehensive supply chain plans across the enterprise.
After demand plans and inventory targets are published, Infor Supply Planning applies all relevant supply chain constraints and parameters to calculate the time-phased supply plans automatically. These plans include purchase, production, inventory, and distribution plans. The component provides required replenishments information using planning engines based on heuristics, optimization, and AI-driven cost optimization. Infor Supply Planning supports end-to-end cost optimization across the supply chain. This component also enables sustainability optimization by incorporating carbon impact considerations into supply planning decisions.
