Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of financial planning within supply chain planning?
Financial Planning enables supply chain operational budgets and sales and cost targets to be defined or synchronized with the finance system. It aligns plans and measures progress of revenue, profit and supply chain costs against budgets.
What are some common challenges with financial planning?
Today's supply chain landscape is marked by constant disruption. Geopolitical shifts, environmental events, and other unforeseen incidents are continually upending long-term plans, creating a significant disconnect between financial goals and operational supply chain realities. This is compounded by wildly fluctuating supply chain costs, with unpredictable freight prices, rising fuel surcharges, and increasing raw material costs making it difficult for businesses to hit their financial targets. Adding to these pressures, customer expectations are higher than ever, with demands for immediate stock availability and guaranteed on-time deliveries becoming standard for a positive experience.
