What is PLAIO?

PLAIO is a supply chain planning platform that optimizes decisions across demand, supply, and production. It generates feasible, transparent plans that balance real-world constraints.

How PLAIO Works

  1. Demand Planning - Forecasts that you can adjust based on business insight

  2. Supply Planning - Translates demand into inventory projections and replenishment plans

  3. Production Planning - Turns accepted production orders into optimized, realistic plans for the shop floor

Core Principles

  1. Plans are calculated outputs based on your data and constraints.

  2. Exceptions highlight where plans deviate from targets.

  3. All calculations are transparent and traceable.

  4. Changes update downstream impacts immediately.

Recommended Actions

  • Review Demand Planning view and adjust Market forecast where needed, by clicking on the cell.

  • Check Supply Orders view to change suggested orders into approved orders.

  • Find red spaces in the worksheet views to identify exceptions, and right-click to generate a follow-up task.
