Demand Intelligence

idea posted by Sudhansu Jena Logistics Manager, Target
PLM must be able to forecast customer demand patterns and provides a competitive advantage by allowing companies to profitably shape demand through pricing and promotions, while simultaneously ensuring high customer service levels. The highly accurate demand forecasts should be able to optimise promotions, pricing and production plans. And its holistic view of the influences and immediate effects of consumer demand allows enterprises to understand and anticipate customer demand. As a result, companies can employ market-driven planning to create a unified strategy that optimally serves customers while maximising profits.

If consumer demand is known then only as relevant to the demand we can develop strategies for supply chain

Inventory Quality-Storage, Responsibilty (distribution) & Logistics

idea posted by Tushar G. Spare Parts Manager

Storage & Quality  : How many times, you see goods lying without proper storage, bining.  Adequate and proper binning with product display will improve the chances sales and will lead to long life.

Responsibility : Now , Just In Time Inventories as being tried in India also. To start with one should promote Vendor/ Distributor managed Inventory. Off course, to achieve this, the Vendor and Supplier (saler) should exchange live date as Production Data, Ready Stock, Sales, Change in Demand etc. This will help Vendor to plan accordingly and also dealer to plan according.

Logistics :  How many 3PL/4PL Logistics are using GPS systems to track their transports.  The delivery deadlines are not followed and no proper location the consignment is available.  Real-time system will improve the information exchange and better transport will help to preserves the quality of the product.

Inventory profile of a Supply chain

idea posted by Suresh Jagannathan Solutions Architect, TAKE solutions

The most important aspect to any supply chain is the inventory it carries. Whatever be the demand, supply position if the inventory is adequately managed, the supply chain is successful.. This means, being able to align all supply resources to demand at every node within the supply networks. If a supplychain is able to recognise this relationship & exactly know where and why my inventory lies / should lie, They are good to go.

Relationship Management

idea posted by Akhilesh Majumdar Logistics Manager, Tesco
I think a good SCI must address incomplete spending analysis . Relationship management must address delivering supplier intelligence through a Web-enabled environment to all levels within the purchasing organisation. It should provide robust and versatile tools that facilitate substantial returns through the three main procurement areas: strategy alignment/scorecarding, opportunity exploration, and detailed analysis/decision support

Value Chain Analytics

idea posted by Shailena Varma Logistics Manager, Target
A good PLM must deliver financial intelligence enabling fact-based decisions that reduce costs and improve profitability, both internally and across the consumer-packaged goods and retail value chain. It should be able to provide you a common platform for internal departments and/or external trading partners to objectively examine the mutual costs attributed to moving products through distribution systems from post-production to the final consumer.
