Consider total cost to serve as a direct decision-making criterion within your delivery planning processes to achieve new levels of performance.
How Do You Implement Cost-Controlled Supply Planning?
Meeting demand without considering costs is merely a paradigm for growing companies. To stand out from the competition, companies must optimise their margins. Procurement planning plays a crucial role in this.
Procurement planning can contribute to margin optimisation by reducing costs. Most of the time, companies focus on optimising profitability (reducing sales penalties and obsolescence costs) while controlling their working capital (by keeping cash on hand as low as possible). They mainly consider delivery costs during supply chain development and do not optimise them directly within supply chain processes.
But even in a well-designed supply chain, planning decisions have a noticeable impact on delivery costs.

What Challenges Do Companies Face When Optimising Resources and Operational Processes to Reduce Costs?
Impact of Covid-19 on the Implementation of a Cost-Oriented Delivery Planning Process
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how vulnerable organisations are to disruptions in their supply chains.
In this era of uncertainty, companies can no longer rely on nominal decisions and other planning practices that have developed over time under largely unchanged circumstances.
They need to quickly adapt their plans to the threats and ensure that they maintain a minimal cost to serve regardless of the new context. Optimising resource planning to reduce the cost to serve is therefore becoming essential.
