Planning & Control

For gaining control of operational planning and execution to drive business performance

Operational Planning and Control involves the successful integration of all your planning processes for making products and services available to consistently fulfil customer demand. It provides the essential foundation for your organisation to successfully manage the extended supply chain.

Planning and Control includes the best and most credible view of customer demand plans, supported by the integration of product development plans, plus aligned planning and control disciplines in your operating and manufacturing units. It creates a seamless closed-loop planning system through the communication of valid plans and information to suppliers, warehouses, distribution facilities, and transportation providers.
