What is this episode about?
The webinar focuses on the idea that stable production and logistics are largely determined before outbound processes begin. It emphasizes how upstream planning activities play a critical role in ensuring efficient and reliable operations.
Dr. Stefan Kremsner explains how network planning, MRP and inbound optimization, production planning, and S&OP interact to better align transportation with the specific needs of the plant. The objective is to leverage these connections to create synergies, improve coordination, and increase overall efficiency and stability across the supply chain.
This webinar addresses practical questions such as how to plan inbound deliveries more proactively, when a milkrun is more economical than LTL shipments, and how to prevent unnecessary congestion at goods receipt before it arises. Overall, the webinar demonstrates how better integration of planning processes can optimize inbound logistics and strengthen operational performance.
