Supply chain planning follows from supply chain simulation and strategy using particular tools to define performance and to provide optimal operations in inventory and in logistics. For example:.
- On-Point uses truck stops interactively with simulation to plan routes and maximize truck utilization, a key aspect of Supply Chain Planning which traditional models miss.
- On-Point measures performance and identifies supply chain planning improvements using Salient's Margin Minder Max.
On-Point has extensive experience in planning for optimal logistics and supply chain inventory. Inventory optimization can be accomplished using the analytical base of Supply Chain Guru and a simple model to guide the calculation of inventory standards.
Supply chain planning should balance the conflicting objectives of key functional areas, as depicted on the exhibit and be based on strong performance measurement tools.
