| Demand Planning dynamically forecasts install base changes and usage at
the product level to help drive material stocking levels. This forecast
can be performed at a region level and allocated down to the individual
stocking locations, or performed at the location level.
Product life-cycle curves are generated and maintained to help manage new
product introduction and end-of-support life, minimizing back orders during
product launch and excess as end-of-life approaches.
Part requirements are generated at the product level, which leverages product
information throughout all aspects of inventory planning and delivery. This
allows you to plan for the parts within a product and to determine which parts
are critical to the functionality of that product. With this knowledge, you
are in a position to proactively make informed decisions about when, where
and how parts are inventoried. This provides a higher return on assets and
determines operational requirements.
