Supply Chain Planning : CDC Supply Chain

Increase Order Fulfillment Reliability and Optimize Inventory Management

Predicting demand and turning it into optimized plans for purchasing and replenishment of stores and warehouses requires true supply chain intelligence. CDC Supply Chain's operational planning helps you manage the uncertainties of seasonality and new product introduction so the decisions and scheduling is automated across complex dependencies.

The replenishment module optimizes inventory across a network of trading partners and facilities. It includes demand planning, replenishment planning, and vendor-managed inventory (VMI) components that help to implement a pull-based model and stay ahead of the demand.

As a result you can create global, time-phased forecasting and multi-tier replenishment schedules for central warehouses, distribution centers and stores to lower the total cost of ordering, handling, and storing products.

Our cross-dock planning solution enables dynamic matching of current demand with supply in the pipeline as planned or in-transit deliveries:

  • It interacts with transshipment hubs or warehouses to enable re-routing and efficient cross-docking of supply to the best destination.
  • It caters to scenarios such as how to deal with short supply and prioritize allocation across customers or stores.


As a result, the cross-docking solution helps increase order fulfillment reliability and velocity, lower supply chain-wide inventory levels, and increase cross-docking and merge-in-transit activities.
