End-Item Data Implementation Overview
Companies typically do end-item operations planning in a short to medium-term time frame, usually less than six months. They use it to:
• Optimize target inventory and production levels throughout the enterprise.
• Develop production schedules for supply sites and production lines.
• Identify variances between planned and actual performance.
For end-item planning, four sets of data elements are used, as shown in
End-Item Data Implementation Work Flow. You can set them up in any order.
