How Gartner evaluates supply chain planning solutions
According to Gartner, a supply chain planning (SCP) solution is “platforms that provide technological support to enable a company to manage, link, align, collaborate and share its planning data across an extended supply chain. An SCP solution supports planning, ranging from demand planning through to detailed supply-side response planning, and from strategic planning to execution-level planning. It is the planning decision repository for a defined end-to-end supply chain. It is also the environment in which end-to-end-integrated supply chain decisions are managed. It establishes a single version of the truth for planning data and decisions, regardless of the underlying execution technology environment.”2
The report goes on to state:
Mandatory features of the SCP solution are:
- Demand planning (e.g., demand forecasting and consensus demand planning)
- Supply planning (e.g., inventory planning, replenishment planning, order promising, production planning, production scheduling)
- Support for aligning planning decisions across the enterprise and across multiple planning time horizons
- Support for financial impact analysis and planning
The common features of an SCP solution are:
- Advanced analytics and AI
- Digital supply chain twin
- Supply chain design and modeling
- Continuous planning
- Supply chain segmentation
- Multi-enterprise planning
The report evaluated a total of 20 vendors.
