DISH Network and Anaplan: Mobilizing resilient supply chain planning

All companies plan, but not all companies produce good plans. What defines a good plan in the current environment, when supply chain resilience has become a requirement for success? High-performing organizations have distinguished themselves from the competition with a connected, comprehensive approach to supply chain planning that enables agile, flexible decision-making.

High-performance was the goal for DISH Network, a leading U.S. direct-broadcast satellite provider, as the company’s executives recognized that siloed spreadsheets and painfully slow systems were preventing them from efficiently meeting their continually evolving business requirements. With an eye on financial and productivity impact, DISH selected Anaplan to manage its complex planning for repair parts. Following that initial successful implementation—which has enabled game-changing capabilities including “what-if” analyses, capacity planning, and collaborative planning with contract manufacturers and suppliers—DISH has also leveraged Anaplan for workforce management and PPE allocation during the pandemic.
