Supply planning - Program screenshot

Supply planning is an integral part of the work to provide an enterprise or company with goods, materials, and raw materials necessary to perform production. To be more precise, it is with planning that any organization of the activities of the supply service should begin. The effectiveness of all further actions of suppliers depends on how correctly this work is carried out. The planning of supply processes has its own subtleties and peculiarities. In supply, thanks to competent preliminary work, the true real need of the organization of any type of resources, goods, materials, raw materials is taken into account. Planning allows you to have a clear idea of the company's inventory and prevent three unpleasant events — a shortage of something you need, an oversupply of a certain product and fraudulent actions, and theft of purchasing managers during a purchase.

Planning is usually done by the manager, the head of the supply department. This process is not easy, its simplicity is only visible, illusory. At the preparatory stage, information collection is needed. High-quality planning is based on an understanding of production plans, sales department plans for a certain period. It is required to obtain information on the consumption rates of raw materials, the rate of sale, and the demand for goods. It is also necessary to take into account the internal needs of the team — in the paper, stationery, overalls, and so on. At the initial planning stage, accurate data on the balances in the warehouse, in production, in sales should also be available.

Based on this information, the calculation of supply requirements for each group of materials or goods is carried out, and possible balances by the end of the period are forecast. Identifying promising suppliers is also a planning part of supply work. At this stage, it is important to analyze the market and compile a list of all potential suppliers. Each supply specialist must send an invitation for cooperation and a description of the lot.

The form should be the same for everyone to avoid possible misunderstandings. Based on the information received in response to the price, terms, delivery conditions, a general table of alternatives is drawn up. On its basis, the selection of the most interesting, profitable, and promising suppliers for the company is carried out, who can be entrusted with the supply of certain goods or materials. The planning results are compared with the accepted supply budget, after which the corresponding requests are formed to the supply specialists. In the future, the execution of the plan falls on their shoulders. But the control of each stage of the application ineffective management is indispensable.

If the planning is done correctly and the applications are correct and understandable. Therefore, it is very important to try to avoid mistakes, to take into account all the factors and possibilities, so that the required material or product gets to the company on time, at a favorable price, and in proper quality and quantity. The main question is how to organize effective planning, what tools will help to carry it out quickly, simply, and accurately? It is clear that a pile of paper reports from production workers, sellers and warehouse workers will not help to carry out this work with great accuracy. Therefore, automation of supply scheduling is the preferred method.

For these purposes, there are specially developed programs that comprehensively solve not only planning issues but also accounting and monitoring the implementation of plans. No brilliant strategist can succeed if he does not make sure that his great ideas and plans are carried out exactly in accordance with his idea. The result will show how good the plan was, and therefore reporting is important.

Such software was developed and presented by USU Software. The supply program fully automates and optimizes work in the company, making all stages simple and straightforward — from the planning of any complexity to monitoring the implementation of plans.

The USU Software creates a single information space in which warehouses, offices, production, accounting, points of sale, and all other departments are united. Planning can be carried out in any area of activity, for example, draw up work schedules, plans for production, plans for sales managers, and also carry out expert planning of supply and supply in supply. This application shows the validity of purchases, the need for certain goods or raw materials, and is also able to predict a possible shortage. You don't need to ask everyone to provide reports for proper planning. The system collects them by itself and brings data from different departments together, providing comprehensive information on stock balances, consumption of goods, sales, and financial turnover. The software prepares reports and documents automatically.

Software development from our team resists fraud and theft, the system of kickbacks in the supply. When planning, you can enter the necessary restrictive information in the applications, and then the manager simply will not be able to make a dubious transaction, buy goods at an inflated cost, or violate the quality or quantity requirements provided for by the plan. Such a document will be blocked by the system automatically. The system will facilitate the selection of suppliers by collecting and analyzing up-to-date information about offers, prices, and terms of delivery. Each stage of the application is obvious, and control becomes multi-level. You can try the software for free by downloading the demo version on the developer's website. The full version is installed remotely via the Internet, and this helps to save time. Compared to most automation programs, the development of USU Software compares favorably with the complete absence of a subscription fee.
