This white paper describes an event-driven approach to supply chain planning that captures assumptions as date-based events and enables rapid re-planning. It covers end-to-end processes from demand through material, production, and supplier planning within a single collaborative platform. The content emphasizes modular, scenario-based planning that integrates financial and environmental factors while supporting S&OP and IBP frameworks.

Key takeaways

Event-based modeling captures capacity changes, new lanes, and constraints as discrete date-driven inputs for fast re-planning

End-to-end network mapping links material, production, and supplier planning in one connected model

Collaborative planning brings sales, demand, finance, and operations into real-time consensus iterations

Modular design allows organizations to select and customize only the process elements they need

Scenario planning supports what-if analysis for pull-forward, alternate facilities, and shortfall allocation
