Determine the delivery date to be given to the customer based on actual stock, supply, production and logistics conditions.
Delivery forecasting is more comprehensive than simply showing current inventory levels. To determine the quantity, source, and delivery date of a product to a customer, current inventory, reservations, expected purchase inflows, production orders, transfers, and logistics times must all be considered together.
Minerva can create delivery dates for order lines or entire orders using availability and sourcing rules. If the customer's requested date cannot be met, alternative dates, sourcing options, products, or partial deliveries can be considered.
ATP and CTP approach
Current and unreserved stock
Expected inflows from purchasing, production and transfer.
Current and future customer demands
Security stock and customer allocations
Production or supply capacity
Transportation time between warehouses and delivery time to the customer.
Product substitution and alternative sources
Partial shipment or combined delivery rules
Manage your delivery commitment in light of changing circumstances.
Supply, production, or logistics conditions may change after an order is received. The system must identify affected orders, calculate new forecasts, and initiate necessary customer communication.
Instead of giving the customer an optimistic date, promise a reliable delivery based on real resources and tracked changes.
