Each month we can find one, SCDigest features a "Cool New Product," accompanied by a short video review. Just two rules - it has to be new, and it has to be cool.
This Month: The new Proportional Profile Planning solution from Logility is Supply Chain Digest's Cool New Product of the Month for Sept., 2012.
What makes the recent release of this new software solution cool?
As SCDigest editor Dan Gilmore describes in the video nearby, Logility has smartly addressed a major challenge in Demand Planning: How to quickly and accurately forecast the sometimes dozens of "sub-SKUs" that might be available under a base SKU or model?
This scenario is common in apparel (style, color, size, etc.) but is increasingly an issue for many if not most industries.
Traditional forecasting systems have simply not handled this need for granularity well, leading to manual processes, as supply planners often need to literally fill in the blanks to create the required detail - a real issue.
Proportional Profile Planning addresses this challenge with full support for almost limitless SKU attributes and hierarchies, also enabling automation of the process from start to finish.
