Revolutionizing Supply Chain Efficiency with Kinaxis RapidResponse Concurrent Planning

Understanding Concurrent Planning vs. Cascaded Planning

Traditional cascaded supply chain planning operates in silos, with each function optimizing its own area without considering the impact on the entire supply chain. This outdated model leads to misalignment, inefficiencies, and operational blindness. On the other hand, concurrent planning takes a holistic view of the entire planning network, aligning data in real-time to ensure changes in one part trigger corresponding adjustments throughout the chain. By unifying plans across all time horizons and granularities, concurrent planning empowers planners to comprehend past, present, and future impacts seamlessly.
