现代商业世界中的全球供应链已经变得更加复杂，缺乏供应链可见性会影响盈利能力。当供应链经理必须做出决定并匹配供求的情况下，考虑到限制和盈利能力时，它变得更加具有挑战性。在供应链分配方面，从战略上讲，要确定分配多少数量/数量，从哪个来源分配以及在哪里分配考虑能力和其他约束的地方变得非常困难。线性编程是一种科学技术，可以帮助企业进行决策和优化分配。线性编程的一般形式如下：最大化-A1x1+…ANCN受-B1X1+…Bnxn = = 0，xn> = 0，在上面的示例中，A1，A1，AN，B1，AN，B1，bn，d2，dn，c1和c2的数字，x1和xn是变量。同样，线性编程也可用于最小化目标。Anaplan优化器通过解决涉及数百万组合的复杂问题来帮助业务计划和决策，以提供可行的解决方案。请参阅以下供应链网络图。它具有多个分销中心，多个商店和多个SKU。借助Anaplan优化器，供应链经理可以单击按钮并通过设定相关的约束和目标来分配需求。 SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK Set the following prerequisites in Anaplan Optimizer: Input: Define inputs Objective: Define Maximization/Minimization Constraints: Define constraints Variable Let’s refer to the following example: INPUT: We have the following inputs: 1.1 – Input represents SKU-DC level stocks. 1.2 – Input represents SKU-Stores level demand 1.3 – Input represents SKU-Stores-DC level profitability =ASP per SKU – Cost per SKU 1.4 – Input represents DC wise maximum throughput/capacity 1.5 – Input represents DC to Stores supply feasibility metric /constraint. OBJECTIVE Set up an objective before running an optimizer (in this example—Maximize Profitability). Maximum profitability after running Optimizer CONSTRAINTS Set up all constraints example—the value should be >0 and integer, allocation <=capacity etc. VARIABLE After Optimizer run, the following allocations are done based on maximum profitability and considering all constraints. Supply chain managers can also set an objective to perform allocations based on product profitability, customer profitability, product-customer profitability, and customer priority. Additionally, supply chain managers can create multiple scenarios. Save and compare scenarios on the Anaplan platform to select the best fit scenario for the business.

这是前所未有的事件r, warehouse space utilization planning becomes a key decision-making point to balance supply and demand. Inappropriate warehouse space planning may lead to safety concerns like accidents, higher vehicle turnaround times, demurrages, and product quality that can affect the overall warehouse’s operational efficiency and cost. Benefits of warehouse space planning include: Visibility on future space utilization and planning. Reduction in cost due to demurrages, handling damages. Improved warehouse safety compliance because of proper space planning. A common challenge for demand planners, buyers, marketing, and sales teams is that they lack visibility on warehouse space utilization to perform their respective tasks or execute decisions made in day-to-day business with a high degree of certainty. Similarly, for a warehouse manager, it is very difficult to forecast warehouse space utilization accurately at a detailed, granular level considering misaligned estimates provided across different functions. Warehouse managers are responsible for anticipating and quantifying space utilization related concerns and understanding the risks to enable leadership teams to take appropriate and proactive business decisions at the right time, such as partnering with third-party logistics partners, promotions planning, or order postponement. Considering typical constraints related to warehouse space planning, there are platforms that can help businesses to integrate different business functions with warehouse planning. Anaplan is a leading global planning platform that caters to continuously Connected Planning, specifically empowering warehouse managers to quickly create and analyze various ‘what if’ scenarios. The ability for business managers to create on-the-fly plan variations during sales and operations meetings to conclude a ‘best fit scenario’ facilitates a more interactive and collaborative approach to streamline the integrated business planning process. The beauty of using the Anaplan platform is all stakeholders—for instance, demand planners, buyers, or the marketing team—can visualize the impact of their independent decisions against warehouse space utilization without being dependent on a warehouse manager. For example, marketing can create their own ‘what if scenario’ versions and immediately determine the impact on warehouse space against a promotional uplift % applied on top of the baseline. Anaplan provides flexibility for planning at the most granular levels like ‘Product-Location-Period,’ but it also gives users the capability to automate consolidated warehouse space level planning.

If a list is published on a dashboard as a page selector and if user opens a dashboard then he/she could see any random list item selected as a page selector instead user prefers to set a top level item as page selector (eg. 'All') by default and there is no option available to set page selector as Top level by default. It will be great if this point can be considered. ... 查看更多
