The business case for demand forecasting
MRP/replenishment planning
Vanguard Predictive Planning offers an end-to-end view from raw materials demand and procurement to production. With support for BOM explosions, unlimited service levels and replenishment strategy choices, and the ability to model all constraints, our platform offers robust supply planning capabilities. See real-time updates across all forecasts, plans, and schedules. Watch your replenishment dashboard auto-update when the demand forecast changes. Generate an optimized purchase order with confidence that it is informed by the most current inputs.
Master production scheduling
Imagine a world where real-time MRP data is feeding your master production schedule (MPS). Your MPS is based on the most up-to-date demand forecast, constraints, and current business drivers (i.e. profit, revenue, or customer priority). This is your world with Vanguard Predictive Planning. Production scheduling is automated and planners are there to provide oversight, intervening only when they are notified of exceptions.
Capacity planning
Capacity planning should be a strategic process – not only identifying capacity at each production site, but utilizing your resources holistically to meet customer demand in the most efficient way possible. Vanguard Predictive Planning enables rough cut capacity planning with support for an unlimited number of constraints, whether driven by physicality or business rules. Workflows drive the process, allowing planners to provide oversight, be notified when exceptions occur, and make manual overrides – all in a user-friendly interface. Vanguard Predictive Planning supports expansive stress testing and what-if modeling to allow for better planning, whether it be 12, 18, or 24+ months out.
Production planning
Planning across multiple facilities for labor, materials, and machines needs to be unified and synced with the demand forecast in order to meet customer demand and avoid stockouts. With the ability to plan entire finished goods including sub-assemblies, kitting, secondary operations, and more, Vanguard Predictive Planning provides the most extensive production planning capabilities on the market. You’ll see auto-leveling of production plans, support for capable-to-promise and available-to-promise systems, made-to-order and made-to-stock options, and advanced production reporting.
