Key Features of Our Planning Solution

Total Cost Optimization

Boost profitability with our proprietary Total Cost Optimization approach for Service Parts Planning, which factors in stockout costs—such as service penalties, expedited freight, and lost sales—as well as other key inventory variables like forecasted and outlier demand, order costs, carrying costs, and lead time. This ensures smarter, more efficient inventory planning and decision-making.

Inventory Optimization

Calculate ideal target stock levels using our Total Cost Optimization approach by modeling part, site, and customer criticality attributes to meet Service Supply Chain objectives.

Logistics Network Optimization

Identify and maintain the ideal logistics network and associated rules to accurately map demand and service contracts to sites based on business objectives.

Forecasting

Forecast demand based on historical data in addition to current and projected service contracts in order to prevent excess and backlogs.

Replenishment & Redeployment

Execute replenishment and redeployment orders to balance field service inventory planning within the logistics network based on Baxter Planning’s Backlog Criticality Index (BCI). This calculates the real and potential costs of each backlog to optimally deploy spare parts inventory.

Supply Order Automation

Fulfill purchase and repair orders to ensure inventory availability while considering calculated scrap rates, supplier performance, and budgetary constraints.

Lifecycle Management

Plan for the key service lifecycle management events of new product introduction (NPI) to ensure inventory availability at first customer ship and end-of-life (EOL).

Excess Management

Define Baxter Planning’s excess report to properly identify surplus material that can be utilized, sold, or scrapped to achieve service inventory planning goals.

Planning Analytics

Improve operations with ongoing review of hit rate service misses and KPIs such as fill rate and service level. This helps to prioritize corrective actions and continuously identify opportunities for improvement.
