Planning Optimization Support for Priority-Based Planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
Priority-based planning prioritizes replenishment orders to ensure that urgent demand is prioritized over less-important demand. For example, a stockout replenishment order will be prioritized over a standard refill replenishment order.
Watch the video to see how priority-based planning works in supply chain management and explore benefits including higher service levels and reductions in inventory.
What is priority-based planning in Dynamics 365?
Priority-based planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management allows businesses to prioritize replenishment orders based on urgency. This means that urgent demands, such as stockout replenishment orders, are processed before less critical ones, like standard refill orders. This capability helps improve service levels, reduce inventory levels, and optimize the use of available materials.
What benefits can companies expect from demand-driven planning?
Companies that implement demand-driven planning can expect several benefits, including improved customer service, lead time compression, right-sized inventory, and lower total supply chain costs. These improvements can significantly enhance overall operational efficiency.
How does Dynamics 365 support order prioritization?
Dynamics 365 supports order prioritization by allowing users to assign planning priorities to various order types, including purchase orders, sales orders, and transfer orders. It can automatically split larger orders based on priority, group purchase orders when firming planned orders, and define flexible priority ranges to optimize the planning process.
