A monthly cross-functional rhythm

From source refresh to a recorded consensus.

  1. 01

    Refresh dated ERP and WMS snapshots.

    Start the monthly cycle with exported source data. Record the source grain, units, snapshot date, and owner in the ERP/WMS map.

  2. 02

    Build unconstrained demand and commercial adjustments.

    Prepare the demand view from a baseline and commercial adjustment before reconciling it against supply constraints.

  3. 03

    Reconcile supply, lead times, order quantities, and capacity.

    Review open supply, lead times, minimum order quantities, order multiples, planned receipts, release timing, and available capacity.

  4. 04

    Review inventory, cash tradeoffs, and exceptions.

    Consider projected inventory, inventory value, planned receipt cash exposure, and capacity or safety-stock exceptions.

  5. 05

    Record the consensus decision, owner, and due date.

    Capture the consensus demand, chosen action, decision, accountable owner, and due date in the review handoff.

Offline ERP/WMS handoff

Work from exports, not a live system connection.

Refresh your ERP and WMS snapshots for each monthly cycle and record their dates. This Excel workbook is an offline planning handoff; it does not connect to live ERP or WMS systems.
