SherTrack re-launches SNAPPS AP—Asset Planning in support of
NEXT GEN S&OP.
To achieve sustained high operating performance, sales and
operations planning (S&OP) requires a new generation of
capabilities that can support probabilistic scenario
analyses, rigorous risk assessments and service level
performance.
SNAPPS AP leverages SNAPPS probabilistic supply (plant) and
demand models to capture the detailed plant operating
capabilities and process constraints. This digital plant
model facilitates precise capacity planning so that
production plants can be continually operated close to their
maximum capabilities. SNAPPS integrated discreet event
simulation facilitates extensive scenario planning to
determine the optimal supply decisions for new product
introductions. Multi-period operating plans can then be
executed with confidence by operations.
SNAPPS AP leverages investments in ERP, SCM and / or MES to
provide the latest plant conditions so that planners have
more time to fully investigate the complete range of demand
scenarios to develop the best tactical supply plans.
