What is Blue Yonder Deployment Planning for Consumer Industries?
Deployment Planning decides how much to push from plants to upstream DCs and downstream nodes to meet service and freshness goals at the lowest cost. For consumer goods, it accounts for promotions, seasonality, shelf-life, truck/carton economics, and DC/store capacity. Planners simulate allocations, prebuilds, and transfer strategies, then release feasible moves to transportation and warehousing. Benefits: higher on-shelf availability during peaks with fewer costly redistributions and markdowns.
