Checked in every period
Lots leave the plan before they fall short of the shelf life you require, extensions included.
Supply Planning
Planned down to the lot.
SCmple follows every lot through every period of the plan, from finished product to raw material, so every planned order is based only on inventory your rules allow.
How It Works
Planned the way your product is made.
Three planning needs unique to life sciences, handled in SCmple’s core planning engine.
Down to drug substance
Bills of materials turn finished product demand into drug substance needs.
Across suppliers and sites
Supply splits by allocation and capacity, then moves between sites by lane and campaign.
As our clinical programs have grown, SCmple has given us greater confidence in our supply planning. With multiple ongoing studies, a commercial launch, and additional programs ahead, having SCmple in place has been incredibly valuable.
Configuration
Configured to how you plan.
Experienced planners have good reasons for the methods they use. SCmple lets your team choose how the key calculations work, so the plan follows your practice instead of asking you to change it.

The Output
A plan your team can act on.
Each run produces a time-phased plan for every material, with the orders needed to keep supply on track.

Questions from planning teams.
How are lots on quality hold handled?
Every stock lot carries a quality status, and only statuses set to count in planning are included. Lots in quarantine stay out of the plan until they are released, so only inventory that meets your quality-status and shelf-life rules counts toward the plan.
Can we plan across multiple sites?
Yes. Inventory is planned by site, and transfers between sites follow defined shipping lanes with their own transit times, including campaign-based shipping schedules.
Can we plan clinical and commercial supply together?
Yes. Clinical and commercial materials are planned side by side in the same plan, and each material can follow the forecast version that fits it, such as a clinical supply plan alongside a commercial consensus forecast.
How does SCmple flag supply risk?
After every run, SCmple highlights lots expiring within 90 days, shortage alerts, and months of supply against safety stock, so your team can see which materials need attention before they open the detailed plan.
How far ahead and how often can we plan?
The planning horizon is set in months to suit your portfolio, with 24 months as the default, and a planning time fence can hold the near-term plan steady while orders beyond it adjust freely. Your team can run the plan on demand or on a schedule, for all materials or a selection, and each run happens in the background with a notification when it finishes.
