Supply Chain Management

JDA's Solutions

JDA's comprehensive solutions address the mission-critical requirements that drive to one view of demand across the following strategic categories:

The classic demand chain begins with the customer and extends from the point of sale back to the retailer's distribution center. The classic supply chain begins with the raw material suppliers and extends down through the distribution network. With the expanding horizons of today's global economy, increased competitive imperatives, challenging new business models and increased customer satisfaction, the movement towards a holistic perspective over the entire supply and demand chain is converging into what we at JDA call the «Customer-Driven Value Chain».

JDA has solidified a unique marketplace position, in that only JDA can offer a complete supply and demand chain industry-specialized suite with the depth and breadth of capabilities necessary for enabling the Customer-Driven Value Chain - starting with one view of demand. One view of demand that drives each plan within an enterprise and across the extended value chain, synchronizing decisions by all stakeholders from manufacturing through distribution to the retail shelf.

JDA Demand Product

Key Capabilities of JDA® Demand:

• Advanced statistical modeling
• Demand management, classification and segmentation
• Multi-level demand forecasting
• New product demand and sales forecasting
• Promotional and event data management
• Consensus forecast creation
• Forecast collaboration

Leading companies today are aligning their operations around the concept that end-consumer demand signals should pull product through the customer-driven value chain. With consumers having more brand choices than ever – including private-label merchandise from the very retailers who are the customers to consumer goods firms – keeping brand loyalty high is mandatory. Retailers and consumer goods companies need a demand management solution that enables them to pinpoint demand forecasting with the highest accuracy. By better understanding consumer demand, companies can forecast and leverage the demand signal to synchronize demand with their sources of supply.

JDA Demand’s forecasting capabilities help companies better prepare for effective sales forecasting and future customer demand. Leveraging advanced demand forecasting statistical analysis techniques, JDA offers demand segmentation capabilities that analyze your product’s selling behavior to identify its individual demand pattern (i.e. slow moving, seasonal, lumpy) and help create the automated baseline demand forecast.

In addition to statistical modeling to create the baseline demand forecast, JDA Demand provides users with the ability to easily incorporate promotional and external event impacts into the final forecast, as well as new product modeling capabilities, ultimately establishing best-practice business processes that create a clear picture of future customer demand.

• Date-sensitive inventory management
• Forecast consumption
• Purchase optimization and forward buying capabilities

JDA Fulfillment positions the right inventory in the right distribution centers, in the right stores, at the right time, while ensuring that inventory is available across the Customer-Driven Value Chain. It simultaneously reduces stockouts while improving inventory turns and product sell-through, resulting in higher margins. This solution leverages forecast and end customer demand signals to create an optimized, multi-level replenishment plan down to the store level.

JDA Fulfillment begins with the setting of optimal inventory policy decisions through safety stock strategies.
