In a volatile supply chain, revenues are lost if companies underfulfill and inventorywrite-offs result if they overplan . Companies need to be demand driven in allaspects from sensing customer demand to responding to change quickly and bybetter aligning internal and external supply chains.

The empowered customers of today have morechoices than they have ever had before. Stock-keeping units (SKUs) continue to proliferate,with competition on a global scale. The Internetbombards the world with product reviews,trends, and likes that influence marketsvirtually overnight. Around the world, newproduct introductions and promotions drivedemand constantly.

Moreover, the supply situation faces unprece-dented complexity. Todays advanced, distrib-uted supply networks include remote contractmanufacturers and suppliers, often offshore.

This complexity has led to long lead times andsupply constraints, forcing commitments todecisions before demands are well known.Furthermore, distances and organizationalboundaries raise visibility and transparencychallenges that make it difficult and time-consuming to change a plan once its made.

To address these critical supply chain issues,todays best -run companies use an integrated,demand-driven approach to reduce and avoidlatencies across the entire supply chain.

Advanced planning functions that can sensechanges in demand and supply enable thesecompanies to respond more quickly andprecisely.

3/30


Customer demand continues to be unpredictable. To succeed, companies mustrespond with agility and speed to changes and new opportunities by sensing,anticipating, and shaping demand with extraordinary visibility and insight intodemand signals across a global supply chain.

The Demand -Driven Imperative

The speed and volatility of business todaypoints to the reality that it is no longer com-petitive or profitable to push product to marketbased on long frozen periods and productioncycles.

Using near-real-time visibility into demand,companies must anticipate and shape demandby capturing, cleansing, harmonizing, and miningdemand signals with speed and intelligence.

For companies also to meet demand respon-sively, they need the ability to commit to ordersaccurately and adjust plans to capture upsideopportunities while protecting commitments.They also need to make continuous, fine-tunedadjustments to shipments and supply.

A transformation of production and procure-ment processes is also required to reducefrozen periods with suppliers, and to replanand reallocate supply on a daily or morefrequent basis.

SAP software for demand sensing and shaping,response orchestration, manufacturing andsupply orchestration, and service parts manage-ment provides these essential functions to drivespeed and responsiveness in any supply chain.

The new supply chain is demand driven at the speed of real time. With theability to sense and adjust current plans based on market and demand data,you gain immediate benefits that include competitive differentiation and targetedimprovement on your organizational key performance indicators (KPIs).

Supply Chain As a Competitive Advantage

The operational and strategic business benefitsof a fast, transparent, and intelligent supplychain are huge. So too are the opportunitycosts and real costs of missing a market signalor not having your supply chain aligned tochanging conditions.

SAP solutions facilitate all aspects of a com-petitive, demand-driven supply chain, resultingin the following benefits.

Forecast accuracy is improved through moreprecise demand visibility tied directly intoforecasting and planning processes.

Bull whip effects are reduced through reducedlatency and capture of demand signals at thesource, plus a more intelligent and stabilizedresponse.

Higher delivery performance is achieved at thelowest cost through intelligent allocation ofscarce product demand and more intelligentinventory availability.

Inventory and working capital are reducedthrough optimized inventory placement at eachnode in the supply chain and better inventoryutilization to meet customer demand.

Collaborative processes drive speed and

accuracy with suppliers, contract manu-facturers, third-party logistics providers, andcustomers, as well as channel partners.

Comprehensive demand management enables companiesto anticipate and shape demand based on near-real-timevisibility to demand signals. Furthermore, it provides themeans for these companies to incorporate demand-baseddecisions and planning into core business processes.

Organizations with disparate demandmanagement approaches struggle with demandsignal visibility and poor forecast performance.However, they can overcome these challengeswith a comprehensive, holistic demand sensingand shaping approach that enables them tosense demand patterns and respond to themmore quickly and accurately.

Demand sensing and shaping includes theability to capture and harmonize demand into asingle demand picture to understand changingpatterns quickly. These demand signals areintegrated into core demand managementresponse processes, such as short-termplanning to drive fulfillment and manufacturingexecution, and demand planning to adjust

forecasts and new product launches.Promotional plans also benefit from more-accurate adjustments that increase theireffectiveness and feed better inventory andsupply planning decisions.

Effective demand sensing and shapingprocesses are driven across the organization,

providing insight from all departments within thecompany. Items like sales forecasts and newproduct plans are incorporated into the demandmanagement process with full understanding ofthe context.

Experience teaches supply chain professionals that eventhe best forecasts can be wrong. For this reason, leadingcompanies focus on responsive management to dynam-ically fulfill and match supply to demand. This approachensures that priorities are followed, commitments are met,and customer loyalty is maintained.

Demand is volatile. Customers order from thesource they think offers the best price andavailability, as they respond to frequentpromotions and new-product introductions.Changing orders can disrupt the supply picture,affecting existing commitments. Compromiseddelivery performance can result in sizablepenalties.

To meet todays customer expectations,companies recognize that large order volumesrequire same-day disposition. They also seethat to meet upside opportunities whilesatisfying existing commitments, priority orderscannot rely on slow manual activities, such asblocking orders or holding stocks.

Todays organizations must maintain superiorcustomer service with minimal inventoriesacross a variety of fulfillment processes,including discrete order-centric processes,make-to-stock processes, or a combination ofboth.

Given the volatility of demand and supply,

integrated response orchestration enables amore stable plan. It protects commitments whileallowing stock deployment according tobusiness rules that are aligned with customerservice and revenue priorities.

Integrated Response Orchestration





ExecutiveSummary





9/30


Organizations can improve their global manufacturingand supply orchestration capabilities and processes byincreasing the flexibility needed to respond to the entiresupply chain across both internal and externalmanufacturing sites all while maintaining efficienciesand minimizing costs.

To improve supply chain metrics, includingcustomer service, revenue, inventory, cash,and margin, companies must operate amanufacturing global network as a singlealigned entity with minimum latency. They mustplan the network as one, with a holistic networkmodel that allows visibility to key demand andsupply information from both internal andexternal sources. This approach facilitatesincorporation of lean supply chain disciplinesdirectly into planning processes and helpscompanies model realistic constraints.

Internal manufacturing operations need tosupport fast, responsive manufacturing, usingboth pull and push techniques to drive plansquickly down to the plant floor.

Integration of outsourced manufacturing pro-cesses allows for fast turnaround of publishedplans and orders. Companies should be able tocommunicate flexibly with contract manufacturingby supporting different transaction types, suchas discrete purchase orders, blanket agreements,and work orders, and by supporting a rangeof communication mechanisms. Leadingorganizations have inventory availability andorder visibility across multiple t iers of the supplynetwork, allowing them to orchestrate amaterial flow to meet their service objectives.

Organizations that establish an efficient, integrated supplychain using planning, execution, and collaboration fortheir service parts business respond quickly to meetcustomer requirements.

Todays service parts customers demandhigher performance. They dont want to wait fora part to be ordered and delivered; they expectto have it right here, right now.

To meet customers high expectations,companies must manage inventory costs andthe complexity of their global supply chain to

help ensure the right parts are in the rightplaces at the right times at the right cost.

Also, companies must coordinate andcollaborate across all service parts processes,including planning, procurement, transportation,

warehousing, and fulfillment not just for asingle location but globally, across the entireservice supply network, in real time.

In the past, companies cobbled point solutionsand homegrown systems into a conglomerationof not-quite-integrated data sources that werereal time as of the previous week's batch job .

The unfortunate results left many companieswith escalating costs, inefficient operations,poor customer service, and no visibility ofservice parts inventory.
