SCM (Supply Chain Management) is an essential element of manufacturing and retail. CPFR is a business model, that allows the collaborative planning and forecasting which in turn aims at increasing sales and fulfilling consumer demand.
CPFR (Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment) allows trading partners like suppliers and retailers to work together to better meet consumer demand through information sharing and joint planning. There are three levels of CPFR engagement from basic to advanced. CPFR evolved from earlier practices like Efficient Consumer Response and Continuous Replenishment Programs to further improve coordination and reduce costs. Implementing CPFR can result in benefits like improved inventory management, customer service, and profitability for both retailers and suppliers.
This document provides an overview of Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), a centralized planning process that aims to align demand, supply, and financial plans across all levels of an organization. S&OP differs from traditional functional planning approaches by taking a holistic view and involving senior management to reach consensus on a single integrated plan. The presentation describes the typical S&OP process, which involves monthly meetings to review data, develop demand and supply plans, identify issues, and make decisions. Critical success factors for effective S&OP implementation include top management involvement, structured routine meetings, cross-functional participation, and integrated planning technology. Benefits of S&OP include improved goal alignment, communication, inventory management, and revenue predictability.
The strategic sourcing process involves identifying a company's current category usage, conducting a supplier and market analysis, selecting an appropriate sourcing strategy, and choosing a sourcing method. Key steps include developing requests for information and proposals, evaluating responses, negotiating with suppliers, integrating new suppliers, and monitoring market performance and supplier relationships on an ongoing basis. The process aims to identify all viable suppliers, execute the best sourcing approach, conduct negotiations to select suppliers, and operationalize agreements while monitoring the category.

CPFR follows a cyclical process where trading partners jointly create sales forecasts, order forecasts, identify exceptions, and resolve them to continuously improve forecasts.
CPFR is a business practice where trading partners collaboratively plan forecasts and replenishments to better fulfill consumer demand. It evolved from earlier practices like Efficient Consumer Response and Continuous Replenishment Programs. CPFR follows a 9-step process and provides benefits like improved forecast accuracy, reduced inventories, and increased sales and customer satisfaction for both retailers and manufacturers. Over 500 companies have implemented CPFR to varying degrees.
Demand management aims to balance customer requirements with supply chain capabilities. It reduces demand variability and improves flexibility. Key aspects of demand management include forecasting demand accurately to have the right inventory, developing contingency plans for disruptions, and smoothing operations to lower costs. Demand management also involves sensing true market shifts, stimulating demand through marketing, translating external demand internally, and making trade-offs between risk and opportunity across markets. The overall goal is meeting customer needs while maintaining efficient operations.

Planning involves thinking ahead about what needs to be done, how it will be done, and who will do it. It is a process of selection among alternatives for future actions. Planning occurs at three levels - strategic, tactical, and operational. Strategic planning sets long-term goals, tactical planning focuses on middle management goals to support strategic plans, and operational planning develops short-term action plans at the lower levels. Effective planning involves setting objectives and choosing alternatives to meet goals in a changing environment.

Collaborative Planning, Forecasting And Replenishment Harishankar Sahu
Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) is a business process where trading partners work together and continuously share information to improve forecasting and integrate replenishment planning. It aims to increase sales and profits through better inventory management and fulfillment of consumer demand. CPFR was piloted successfully between Superdrug and Johnson & Johnson, resulting in a 13% average reduction in stock levels and a 21% improvement in forecast accuracy. Procter & Gamble also uses CPFR to achieve 100% product availability while reducing retail and supplier inventory levels. The key is establishing collaborative processes through information sharing and joint business planning between partners.

How to Perfectly Construct an RFP in 8 Steps
The RFP (request for proposal) is a document that describes project specific requirements and expectations to suppliers with the aim of getting proposed solutions from qualified companies or vendors. The document is helpful for suppliers to establish joint understanding of requirements for a project. The details of RFP depend on scope of the project (Wilkinson & Thorson, 1998). It might involve specific services, products, or outline the expected use of technology and the requirements for project implementation. This means that RFP should be well-conceived, concise, and well-written to attract good vendors. A poorly written RFP attract unsuitable vendors for the project. Ambiguous requirements prevent the qualified candidates from bidding properly. The RFP detail aspects of proposed requirement and what is expected of vendor in meeting the requirement. The final proposal and RFP when agreed become statement of work for contract (Wilkinson & Thorson, 1998). Let’s begin exploring how an RFP is constructed.
