REPLENISHMENT PROPOSAL v. 2.1 |
|
|
|
|
|
Problem
Statement |
|
|
The replenishment process in broader sense
addresses the business practice to exchange data between a buying party (e.g.
buyer) and a supplying party (e.g. seller/supplier) related to the future
demand of finished or semi-finished products, ingredients, packaging and raw
materials. In fact a replenishment request and a replenishment proposal.
Between retailer and manufacturer (the downstream supply chain) the
data is basically based on future demand based on finished products and time
series but it can also be restricted to actual sales date for a certain period
of time. Feed-back from the manufacturer on his availability to deliver is
required, where available inventories (of both sides) are taken in account.
Between manufacturer and material supplier (the upstream supply
chain) the data is basically based on material requirements for production and
the timing for it. And also the feedback from the material supplier on his
availability to deliver and the schedule for delivery. Inventories (on both
sides) are taken in account for the actual delivery schedule.
Based on the delivery schedule
(replenishment proposal), a transport and shipping planning can be derived.
