Inventory and Demand Forecast Visibility

Lack of visibility into and difficulty in accurately comparing, balancing and rationalizing inventory levels in downstream distribution and upstream at CMO/CPOs with demand / production forecasts leads to large safety stock buffers, higher than optimal inventory levels and risk of non-compliance with financial regulations.

To ensure accurate production planning and inventory reconciliation for on-time, in-full product delivery, you need:

  • Accurate and timely visibility into inventory balances for raw materials, API, bulk product and finished goods at all points in the supply network
  • Accurate and timely visibility into inventory in all phases including on-hand, on-hold, in quality review
  • Detailed views of materials produced and consumed data
  • Accurate and timely forecast information from customers and channel partners
  • Integration of inventory and consumption data into S&OP systems
