Distribution Planning and Forecasting
Abstract
There is a lack of collaborative distribution planning, based on an understanding of aggregated customer requirements, for optimizing the end-to-end distribution process. Planning, forecasting and collaboration are insufficiently advanced to fully synchronize people, processes and assets to execute planned operations. Automated tools should be able to dynamically analyze/predict demand and provide input to advanced distribution planning systems. Project investigates the need for flexible end-to-end enhanced modeling and simulation and collaborative decision support tools.
