Master Planning? Fulfillment?
Or Both?!
For those considering JDA or those who already have the tool implemented, this Leadership Exchange will provide insights at all levels.
If you’ve exhausted the Fulfillment functionality, it maybe time to move up to Master Planning. On the contrary, for some companies, Master Planning may be overkill for their specific business needs.
During this session we’ll be discussing:
• Overview of JDA’s Fulfillment and Master Planning Modules
• Characteristics of companies that may veer towards one or the other
• Implementation characteristics of each
Which one would accommodate your industry specific needs best?!

On the surface products look very similar
They are both focused on supply planning
They both can create a Master Production Plan and
a Distribution Requirements Plan
However they have different strengths which are
important to understand

Although not exhaustive, this list highlights their
similarities
Capabilities Fulfillment Master
Planning
Create a Distribution Requirements Plan (DRP)
Create a Master Production Plan using constraint based
planning
Allow you to configure your inventory policies to influence
your replenishment strategy, e.g. safety stock settings
Create a deployment plan
Generate time phased replenishment, makes’ moves and
buy’s across network

Business Issues Fulfillment Master
Planning
Have high value stock that it makes sense to re-
deploy instead of make or buy?
Regularly have products being produced across
more than one production line in the same factory?
Find yourself in a constrained supply situation and
need to prioritize customer orders over safety
stock?
Don’t have a transportation system and need to
build loads prior to it passing to your 3PL?
12. 12
Which of these Supply Chain
characteristics do you have?
Make your selection on the right side of your screen
Select all that apply
1. Manufacturing Process
A. We have a relatively simple manufacturing process
B. We have a complex manufacturing process
2. Distribution Environment
A. We have a large multi-tier distribution network
B. We have a fairly limited distribution network
3. Inventory Deployment
A. We are regularly re-deploying inventory across our network
B. We infrequently re-deploy inventory
13. 13
Have high value stock that it makes sense
to re-deploy instead of make or buy?
By using Dynamic Deployment in Fulfillment
you can decide whether to re-deploy
inventory across the network before you make
or buy
With items that are costly to produce or
procure the additional transportation costs
may well be worth it
You can configure parameters that will
suggest a re-deployment before a planned
manufacturing or purchase order
14. 14
Regularly have products being
produced across more than one
production line in the same factory?
Master Planning is better at doing this
because it allows you to prioritize
alternate resources and run a solve
Alternate sourcing that looks first at the
primary, then at the secondary resource
Fulfillment is more cumbersome for the
planner to move SKU’s to other
resources and re-plan
15. 15
Find yourself in a constrained
supply situation and need to
prioritize customer orders over
safety stock?
Master Planning is better because it
allows you to track the type of
demand on a order throughout the
process so that you can decide to
prioritize on a customer order or
forecast vs. safety stock
In Fulfillment demand gets lumped
together so you have none of the
ability to prioritize
16. 16
Don’t have a transportation
system and need to build
loads prior to it passing to
your 3PL?
Fulfillment has a load builder
that allows you to build loads
Master Planning does not have
this capability

You could!
If your environment is both
manufacturing and distribution
intensive
Prioritization of demand is key within
your business model. This is only
available within Master Planning
The rebalancing of inventories
between different sites is critical. This
is only available within Fulfillment
