DDMRP

With DDMRP you will have clear visibility if you are using your inventory to its maximum potencial, this is, using it as an asset to drive up ROI. IN DDMRP everybody will have clear visibility when you have too little and risk of not meeting customer demand or too much and cash and space tied to not useful inventory. Simple and easy to follow, everybody will push towards the same goal.

By using the Net Flow Position (NFP), an unique trait of the DDMRP methodology, you will be able to drive order generation with actual sales orders. No more MPS based on forecast that forced you to build and accumulate stock at a different rate from what the market really wants.

Simulate different scenarios based on your current planning state and answer all the "what-ifs" (what if my demand is 30% higher than expected, what if we promote this product family...). Your decision making will be much better when  you unluck the relevant information this simulation can give you: Do I need a new warehouse? Do I need to subcontract? Do I have enough casflow to support the inventory needed to attend such a demand increase? Do I need more resources?

Assisted by the system you will be able to generate the most efficient orders in terms of demand coverage while at the same time being restricted to different group constraints like filling trucks, reaching minimum order amounts, respect transportation units, weight, volume, etc.

Variability will always be there in our reality: unexpected events will continue to happen, supplier can have a problem, customer can change their mind, delays will always accumulate... By placing decoupling stock buffers in your strategic positions in your product structure with DDMRP, you can create independence between entities recuding a lot the variability by planning in a shorter horizons and reducing its effect at the same time. All this will make inventory and supply planning both easier and simpler.

DDMRP Stock buffers automatically adjust its size based on future expected demand. Forget about one-time-set static values in reordering rules or safety stock in conventional planning.
