Overview

Cutting Edge Technology

planLM applications are the enabling technologies behind Supply Chain Strategy and Supply Chain Planning solutions.

Each of the applications below are designed and developed to ensure seamless operation with each other to provide a comprehensive solution.

Common features of these applications are:

• Parameters for the applications are managed through planLM User Interface, these parameters can be saved for later use on future runs, or on scheduled runs
• Applications run on computers that are controlled by load balancing application servers, with real time progress visibility on the planLM User Interface
• Applications are fully customizable on the level of detail to run on, for example one instance of the planLM Forecast Generator can generate weekly forecasts and another instance can generate monthly forecasts on the same model, configured by only a parameter setting.

Supply Chain Optimizer

One application for all

planLM Supply Chain Optimizer is mixed integer linear optimization engine serves as the engine behind master planning, capacity planning, network optimization and replenishment planning functions. It features a comprehensive list of cost and capacity trackers, multiple customizable objectives, and the ability to consider supply chain uncertainty in its optimization algorithm. Read more »

Safety Stock Optimizer

Echelon trade-off

planLM Safety Stock Optimizer is a nonlinear optimization engine determines the optimal safety stock levels at each echelon of the supply chain that minimizes the total safety stock requirement of the supply chain without sacrificing customer service level targets. Read more »

Supply Chain Simulator

Confidence before action

planLM Supply Chain Simulator imitates the execution of a supply chain plan in order to gain intelligence of the robustness of a plan generated by other planLM plan generating applications. It provides detailed information on expected behavior of key performance indicators over time before actually enabling the plan. Read more »

Forecast Generator

All forecasts are wrong

planLM Forecast Generator generates forecasted orders in future by determining the best fitting statistical function on the order history and specified external factors, and extrapolating this function into the future. Read more »

Baseline Extractor

Right model?

planLM - Baseline Extractor is an extension of planLM Supply Chain Optimizer which has the capability of processing existing transactional data, such as purchase, shipment, production, and sales history, by eliminating manual task of data validation and clean up. Read more »
