Supply Chain Modeling



Model all your organizations, suppliers and
second tier suppliers
Thumb rule - One Global plan for all
participants
Advantages



Data Integrity
Global Optimization
Better response times
5
Exceptions

Business rules




Frequency
Ownership
Not all plants are ready for constrained
planning
Local optimization
6
Subset Planning A tale of two plans

MRP plan: Local, Optimized for resource
utilization
7
A tale of two plans (contd.)

MPP Plan: Global; optimized for inventory
turns

Recommendations

Hub And Spoke Planning



When plans need to run at different
times/frequency
You need to a small plan for FG / critical items
Still need one global plan
10
Hub and Spoke Planning
(contd.)
11
Managing ASCP Performance






Inactive items
Plan partitions (MSC: Share plan
partitions)
Msc table growth (esp. components)
ODS load slow (MSC: Purge Staging
Tables)
ODS Load slow (Recalculate sourcing)
Filespace growth (MSC: Write MBP Flat
files = Yes)
12
Managing Performance (contd.)



Peg only as needed
Turn off resource calculations
Reduce number of daily buckets
13
Managing Performance (contd.)

Do we need to plan for ALL items?


All items, supply /demand items only?
Pitfalls for not planning all items
14
Lights Out Procurement



Setting up your systems and processes
such that the Plan-To-Procure process is
completed automated.
Buyers and planners can focus on more
value add activities
Intervention is needed to handle
exceptions
15
Steps





Setup blanket agreements with suppliers
Setup sourcing rules
Setup electronic communication methods
to suppliers
Modify Profile Options
Modify workflow attributes
16
Steps (contd.)
Setup a Production
plan


Update Item
RTF
17
Take away





Model supply chain participants in your
plan
Use global plan but exceptions exist
Use subset planning or hub-n-spoke
planning as needed
Optimize performance
Shoot for the moon (and turn off the
lights in procurement)
