Remove Excess Inventory
Beyond Multi-Echelon to Multi-Enterprise
Terra's Multi-Enterprise Inventory Optimization (MIO) solution optimizes inventory across all echelons of the supply chain, from raw materials and work in progress at the plant to finished goods at remote distribution centers. By simultaneously solving all echelons, MIO goes beyond traditional multi-echelon solutions which optimize one echelon at a time and disregard the impact each echelon has on others. Further, MIO goes beyond multi-echelon to multi-enterprise, extending the simultaneous solve to include retailer locations for comprehensive results that encompass all aspects of the value chain.
Robust, Global Scalability
Robust mathematics, daily granularity and common sense combine to provide realistic business outcomes. MIO is the only system that uses daily granularity to measure demand volatility at the exact replenishment lead time. This creates mathematically superior results by eliminating the need to make assumptions and approximations.
Easy to Use
As an option for the Demand Sensing platform, implementation is streamlined and there are no dual data maintenance requirements to stay synchronized with SAP, Oracle or other popular ERP systems.
Practical and Effective
MIO's rich feature set includes:
- User-friendly capabilities like root cause analysis and scenario management to make planning effective
- Constraints and service level variations to accommodate regional differences across global implementations
- Tolerance to noisy data features to ensure consistent results that can be deployed with confidence
