Optimized Available to Promise for Fast Customer Response and Production Efficiency
The Quintiq Company Planner enables you to overcome Available to Promise complexities and reach the optimal balance between customer satisfaction, production efficiency, and profitability. With a 100% fit to your supply and demand model, it considers all your business rules and every relevant piece of information, and provides the transparency you need to quote your customers realistically without over-committing your capacity.
Available to Promise planning deals with an age-old dilemma in every industry -- the trade-off between customer response times, production efficiency, and inventory costs. Faster response times mean better customer service. However, focusing on quick response also means sacrificing production flexibility, often leading to higher costs and lower revenues.
The Quintiq software solves the dilemma by automatically considering all the relevant factors, including resource availability, order profitability, customer priority, customer satisfaction (response and delivery times), and production efficiency.
Intelligent Available to Promise for ongoing order and supply optimization
The main goals of optimizing Available to Promise processes are efficient capacity utilization, higher customer satisfaction with fewer late orders and improved delivery times, and maximum profitability. For example, your company may have a few large customers whom you usually serve by dividing production time equally between them. If one customer has a rush order that requires more than their usual production capacity, you need to understand how this will affect your other orders and your business costs and profitability.
The automated Quintiq Company Planner enables you to see the whole picture by providing full transparency into all of your business rules. It offers you reliable and precise delivery date quoting, Available to Promise (ATP), Capable to Promise (CTP) and Profitable to Promise (PTP) functionality, order planning, and state-of-the-art capacity release strategies that ensure your capacity release is targeted to the most profitable customers.
With the ability to consider resource capacity availability, material availability, and customer allocation, you can quote your customers in a way that both guarantees their highest satisfaction and gives you maximum profitability.
