Why ASC Software ?

Clients often fail to exact the fullest benefits from existing software implementations - particularly ERP type solutions which lack planning and modelling capability that is required in daily supply chain activity.  Many SCM packages which do have the necessary capability are too large, too complex and too expensive for smaller companies to implement as a first step.

This is why ASC can provide both off the  shelf and tailor made solutions for common supply chain issues.

Demand Requirements Planning.

A common issue for companies is reconciling sales forecasts or budgets, with the orders received - and then converting these numbers into the requirements plan to feed the production process.  

DRP is the technique used to aggregate these sales forecasts, replacing forecasts with actual orders where they are known and aggregating these time phased demands for each product from various customers or locations, into a total time phased demand.  This demand is then netted off against on hand inventory and the net requirement, rounded into the correct batch size is passed back to the source, offset by its leadtime.

Key Benefits

saves time in calculating amount you need to ship
correctly maintains target stock levels
provides prior warning of potential stock outs before they happen

Available in Lotus 123 and Excel versions.
