Production planning & Deployement optimization

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Challenges

The key challenge was to regain control over inventory management in order to make mid-term arbitration decisions while optimizing product availability to secure business continuity.

Focus on 3 critical performance dimensions:

Securing the business by improving forecast accuracy and stock availability
Cash impact by reducing inventory levels and write-offs
Cost efficiency by optimizing transport flows through better planning and density management

Drivers

Full Planning Data integration with past Kpis and root causes gap analysis routine implementation
Anticipation of full year inventory landing and deviation alerts reports
Demand process centralization
Quality release process deviation tracking tool design and implementation
Primary transportation optimizer design and implementation
