CAST Supply Chain Design and Network Modelling


CAST optimises the supply chain network by:

  • Identifying the optimal network infrastructure to minimise cost or maximise profit and maximise service levels
  • Defining the optimal network transportation considering third party, own vehicle operation and multi modal logistics
  • Calculating optimal inventory holdings to address seasonal demand and supply variations
  • Optimising sourcing and manufacturing to minimise procurement and production costs considering multi-level bill of materials
  • Minimising tax liabilities for cross-border operations
  • Taking account of the carbon emissions within the network
  • Considering multiple objectives that enables relationships to be identified, for example capital investment against profitability

     

CINO Strategic Inventory Optimisation

CINO helps reduce working capital of businesses with complex supply chains by:  

  • Demand management  
  • Determining optimal sourcing  
  • Considering the impact of supply chain manufacturing constraints  
  • Calculating optimal inventory and replenishment requirements for each node in the supply chain  
  • Deriving a cost-optimal forward projection of inventory flow over the planning horizon  
  • Supply chain and scenario modelling to quickly assess impact on inventory levels and risk

OPTIMIZA Demand Planning

Advanced demand management solution that allows an organisation to build and maintain accurate demand planning within the business.

ODP includes a concept unique to sales forecasting software, called Data Streaming. This allows the forecast to be viewed and managed from any angle, for example:

Marketing can view and manage the forecast by channel

  • Sales can manage and view the forecast and budget by account manager
  • Finance can manage and view the forecast by cost and revenue
  • Production can manage and view the forecast by units and volume
  • Logistics can manage and view the forecast by inventory type

The solution provides one single version of the truth, ensuring that all users look at the same numbers from different angles, making sense of what they see, and turning data into decision making information.

New OPTIMIZA Next Generation Solution

Advanced inventory management solution that builds an inventory risk model for a business and then ensures that each replenishment order placed minimise the risk to the business.

This model allows companies to:

  • Scientifically determine what inventory is needed to achieve required service levels, given the existing and anticipated supply and demand uncertainties.
  • Calculate and maintain the optimal safety stock and replenishment orders.
  • Project future investment and warehousing requirements for their business.

The key elements of inventory management include: 

  • Supply and Lead Time Management
  • Stock Profiling and Classification
  • Forecasting and Demand Planning
  • Replenishment and Distribution
  • Excess Stock Management
  • Inventory Modelling and Strategic Planning
  • Key Performance and Process Monitoring

Based on demand forecasts, customer orders, supplier lead times, user-defined replenishment rules, current stock levels and the existing order pipeline, the New OPTIMIZA calculates ideal levels of safety stock and optimal replenishment orders for every line item, at every level in the supply chain.

Sales & Operations Planning

Our Sales & Operations Planning Solution, which is integrated into our new Microsoft-based software platform the New OPTIMIZA is based on the principle of APICS, including the seven recommended steps to the process:

1. Product Review
2. Data Gathering
3. Demand Planning
4. Supply Planning
5. Financial Review
6. Pre-Exec Meeting
7. Executive Meeting

In addition, as the New OPTIMIZA is built using the same technology stack and database as the other components of our overall Supply Chain Planning suite of solutions, it allows for easy "integrated business planning", where clients S&OP processes can benefit from the contribution of:

  • Long range capacity planning with our CAST Aurora tool that enables sizing the company’s resources, prior to the S&OP process
  • Tactical inventory optimisation with our CINO tool that allows for a global multi-echelon inventory vision including the constraints from suppliers, sub-contractors, carriers, factories, logistics centers and end users. Therefore, it is more accurate to talk about our SI & OP solution = Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning

Our powerful solution provides decision-making and reporting tools that are directly integrated into our overall product suit.
