Starts from the live plan
Create as many scenarios as your questions need, each one starting from the current supply plan.
Scenario Planning
Every what-if, answered.
Start from your live supply plan, change any input your question depends on, and compare as many scenarios as you need, side by side, before your team commits.
How It Works
Three steps from question to answer.
Scenarios are made for the questions your team faces every week, from a demand shift to a lot that will not be released in time.
Change any input
Change one input or all of them, so each scenario matches the exact question being asked.
Compared side by side
Line up scenarios against the base plan and see demand, production, and months of supply move.
What if demand increases by 20 percent against the plan we have today? At what point do we start to not fill that demand, and what does the new plan look like to meet it? Updating everything and replanning just to answer that question becomes unsustainable very quickly.
Scenario Settings
Change any input. See the impact.
Pick a question your team often faces, change the inputs it depends on, and the planning engine recalculates the scenario against the base plan.
Select a question, then change an input to see the scenario recalculate.

What-if questions
Illustrative results for FP1001, calculated with the plan’s own rules: 3 months of dynamic safety stock, fixed lots of 10,000, a 90-day lead time, a 6-month planning time fence, and first-expiry, first-out use of lots. Any input can change in a scenario, and one scenario can combine as many changes as the question needs.
The Comparison
Every option, side by side.
Compare scenarios with the base plan for any material, with demand and months of supply month by month.

Questions from planning teams.
Does a scenario change the live supply plan?
No. Each scenario starts from the current supply plan and keeps its own settings, so the live plan stays exactly as it is while your team explores options.
How many scenarios can we run and compare?
As many as your questions need. Each scenario is saved, so your team can return to it, refine it, and compare it with the base plan and with other scenarios.
Can one scenario combine several changes?
Yes. A single scenario can change demand, inventory, orders, capacity, suppliers, and campaigns together, so it reflects the full situation behind the question.
How do we decide which scenario to act on?
Compare each scenario with the base plan month by month, across months of supply, production, and alerts. The comparison shows where each option holds and where it falls short, so the decision rests on the same numbers for everyone.
Can we share scenario results?
Yes. Comparison charts and tables can be downloaded, and each chart can be switched between line, area, column, bar, and pie views to suit the discussion.
