Challenge: Limited Supply Chain Visibility and Non-Integrated Processes Causing Stock-Outs, Excessive Costs and Poor Service Retailers and wholesaler-distributors are constantly pressured to reduce their inventory investments while keeping their shelves and distribution centers (DCs) stocked with the right merchandise. Manufacturers are pressured to produce and precisely position the right amount of inventory across different network nodes to ensure 24-hour, on-demand availability. The complexities in managing these processes can result in costly ramifications: out-of-stocks, lost sales, decreased loyalty and wasted capital. Companies wanting to tackle these challenges have typically selected between two approaches: a distribution requirements planning solution or a replenishment execution solution that focuses on the next order. While each approach addresses some of the requirements, neither solution is capable of optimally addressing them all. To stay competitive in today’s dynamic global environment, companies need the best of both approaches — an advanced, integrated solution that addresses factors ranging from demand signals and customer service targets to safety-stock policies, lead times and transportation constraints.

Solution: Process Integration and Superior Execution With Proven Replenishment and Fulfillment Now companies can take their supply chains to the next level with JDA’s market-leading Replenishment & Fulfillment solution suite. Our solutions incorporate world-class distribution requirements planning with optimized replenishment execution for near-term order release and load building. You’ll position just the right inventory in just the right locations to drive sales, contain costs and optimize service levels. Based on proven best practices, JDA’s solutions have steered products profitably through the supply chain for more than 25 years. By integrating and synchronizing your manufacturing planning, distribution planning, order optimization and allocation processes, JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment supports superior execution. You’ll improve stock availability on the lowest possible inventory investment across your network.

Companies around the world have realized a fast return on investment with our specialized Replenishment & Fulfillment functionality: • Optimal inventory planning, order execution and management • Allocation of constrained supply • Dynamic deployment for inventory rebalancing • Project transition management • Purchase order optimization • Time-phased replenishment planning • Date-sensitive inventory management • Economic buying against purchase incentives Together these capabilities reduce cost, increase sales, improve margins and raise customer satisfaction to give your company a competitive edge.

“The JDA solutions help us make more strategic decisions. For example, we might only prepack 70 percent of our merchandise for the stores. If the forecast is wrong, JDA Fulfillment enables us to send the other 30 percent to the places it’s been selling best.” Iain Little Demand and Fulfillment Strategy Manager, Mark’s Work Wearhouse

End-to-End Capabilities to Optimize Your Inventory Investment, Drive Sales and Contain Costs TIME-PHASED REPLENISHMENT PLANNING & ORDER EXECUTION

Gain Complete Supply Chain Visibility for One Synchronized View of Demand From product ordering, warehousing and allocating to selling, moving and replenishing, all products turn on their own schedule, driven heavily by demand. By leveraging forecast and end-consumer demand signals, JDA’s Replenishment & Fulfillment capabilities provide a synchronized view of demand and supply. Create optimized, multi-level replenishment plans down to the store level with our advanced senseand-respond algorithms to adapt to daily changes in demand signals. You will avoid costly stock-outs and overstocks as well as improve inventory turns and product sell-through across your stores, distribution centers, trans-loads and plants.

Manage Your Global Sourcing Programs Successful companies must provide 24-hour availability across global time zones, sourcing and distribution points, contract manufacturers and co-packing partners. JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment addresses this key requirement for single-tiered or multi-tiered distribution networks. Since it recognizes network interdependencies on customer service and inventory investment targets, you can create feasible plans and orders to meet your objectives. JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment tackles all of the challenges associated with creating optimal purchasing, developing inventory safety-stock strategies and defining inventory flow plans — enabling you to efficiently manage priorities across multi-echelon manufacturing, distribution and supplier networks.

Optimize Your Short-Term Demand Picture JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment uniquely analyzes open orders, recognizes the order pattern and drives future forecast allocations based on these patterns. Our advanced capabilities can recognize and flag promotional orders and then consume, adjust and prorate the forecast at the customer level by demand type. By driving a more accurate daily demand signal, JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment improves overall forecast accuracy. You will benefit from lower inventory levels and fewer expedited shipments for increased customer satisfaction while avoiding costly stock-outs and overstocks from promotions that occur earlier or later than anticipated.

Fulfill Localized Demand With Sophisticated Allocation and Distribution Flow Transforming key consumer insights into the right mix of products for each location is essential. JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment enhances and translates customer knowledge into targeted allocations. You’ll optimize location-specific assortments across your entire network through fast-flow distribution to meet demand while minimizing inventory holding costs. Featuring extended techniques such as lower-level need and minimum/maximum capabilities, JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment handles all of the details. You’ll lower overstocks since our solution considers network inventory prior to creating orders. It even minimizes the impact of demand shifts by postponing allocation decisions that become critical for companies deploying global sourcing programs. With JDA Replenishment & Fulfillment, you can simulate your global, multi-tier allocation strategies and then execute the ideal product mix for each location.
