Enterprise Supply Planning

Enterprise Supply Planning belongs to the JDA range of supply and demand optimization software, which Blue Yonder now runs. It is meant for companies that need to anticipate what customers will buy and arrange supply to meet it, and the pages name retailers, manufacturers and wholesaler-distributors as the audience.

From demand signal to supply plan

The product covers demand anticipation through forecasting, planning and analysis tools for modeling supply options, and optimization that improves how stock and capacity are allocated. Connections to execution workflows tie those plans to the consumer-driven supply chain, so a decision made in planning reaches the people who carry it out.

Context on the platform

Blue Yonder says its platform draws on decades of supply chain experience and relies on AI and machine-learning forecasts to keep planning, assortment, allocation and pricing in step. It also describes a network of trading partners across several tiers, with plans and actions shared both ways from raw materials to the final customer.
