Forecasting and Replenishment Working Together
A forecast is useless unless your replenishment system is built to work in tandem with it. Lanham Demand Planning uses machine learning and multi-formula forecasting to choose the best forecasting method.
Once the forecast is established, the dynamic replenishment system monitors usage and automatically adjusts for such events as over consuming a forecast. The unique Lead Time Horizon replenishment method for suggesting a replenishment quantity is teamed with an EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) to arrive at the best suggested replenishment quantity.
When suggesting a vendor purchase, the Weight, Volume, and Dollars are compared with vendor targets to optimize free freight and container quantities.
