Anaplan Supply Planning application

Supply chain leaders find that managing supply to best meet customer demand is a continual challenge, alongside the need to balance costs, capacity constraints, and customer service. 

Meeting these challenges is made harder when you’re forced to work with outdated technologies and inefficient workflows. Traditional planning systems typically use a business rules calculation methodology to develop the production plan — but this takes time and may produce a sub-optimal answer, resulting in poor operational and financial metrics. To break free of these limitations, a modern solution leveraging prescriptive analytics is needed. 

Anaplan’s Supply Planning application optimizes complex production and purchase plans by analyzing billions of possible combinations across capacity, material, and demand constraints. Unlike traditional planning tools, it empowers planners to align operational decisions with financial goals — whether maximizing margin, minimizing order lateness, or improving resource utilization. The result is a synchronized, data-driven production plan that enhances agility, boosts customer satisfaction, and improves profitability across the supply chain.
