Study 6: Accelerate Adoption of Relevant Customer Channels

This study can help you ensure resource requirements in your supply chain.

Impact – 

A very likely scenario is an accelerated adoption of certain customer channels, for instance online grocery. These channels might not be able to bear the increased shift in demand. 

Action – 

Relevant customer channels must be prioritized and the resource requirements to fulfill their demand must be studied.  

How –

AIMMS S&OP Navigator allows users to prioritize their customers to increase the fulfillment in that channel. Although a forced higher fulfillment of one channel might lead to an overall lower margin, understanding the impact on your resources of putting a higher burden on that channel could prove to be invaluable in the long run.
