Production and inventory visualization solution

basic information

There are things that can only be understood because they are visible. Because we understand, we can take action. The "visualization" of the supply chain has brought about significant transformations in manufacturing, logistics, and sales. However, the diversification of products and the shortening of product life cycles have accelerated even further. It is becoming increasingly difficult to make appropriate judgments on production, sales, and inventory (PSI) planning with just "visibility." The SynCAS PSI series strongly supports decision-making in such PSI planning. It evolves "visualization" further to the stages of "understanding" (grasping the situation and problems) and "taking action" (scenario verification and decision-making through simulation), providing robust support for planning operations related to PSI. "Visibility" ● The status of sales and inventory is visible. ● Future plans and forecasts are visible. "Understanding" ● Problems are understood (excess or shortage of inventory, appropriateness of sales plans). "Taking Action" ● Future scenarios are simulated for decision-making.

Applications/Examples of results

【Case Study】 Streamlining planning operations for a consumer goods manufacturer, resulting in a 20% reduction in inventory. To prevent losses due to misreading demand during the launch phase of new products, a sales and inventory planning system was implemented. Daily "visible" management enabled timely problem detection and proactive actions. After one year of operation, efficiency improvements and a 20% reduction in inventory were achieved. ■ Traditional Operations Planners manually created plans using spreadsheet software. When inventory issues arose, responses were reactive. Additionally, significant labor was required for information exchange between the sales and manufacturing departments. ■ After Implementation The PSI series was utilized in sales and inventory meetings. Gaps between current sales performance, sales plans, and objective future forecasts or adjusted sales plans were identified, leading to agreed-upon decisions on actions such as increasing or decreasing production. Adjustments to production plans for new products and reviews of inventory standards for each item were conducted appropriately and efficiently.
