Bucket brigade Excel killer solutionAnaplan

Anaplan is a cloud-based solution that allows you to switch from inter-organizational coordination using Excel to orderly work in various planning tasks.
The target operations are all Excel operations that are handled by humans, from supply chain supply and demand adjustment to personnel planning, budget planning, and business planning.
Although Excel is easy and flexible, it takes time to manage versions and decipher other people's revision history and macros. Freed from this constraint, you can expect to improve planning productivity, reduce cycle time, and improve accuracy.

overview

Anaplan makes it possible to establish standard processes by standardizing worksheets and centrally managing data for plans that are created manually using Excel in individual organizations.
You are freed from relaying Excel files via email and can focus on planning while referring to plans from other departments. It has dashboards, drill-downs, and other features to enable decision-making.
In addition, because the system is simple, including master data registration, worksheet settings, and calculation logic settings, the process can be implemented using Anaplan within a pilot implementation period of about 3 months, allowing you to quickly see the return on investment.

Technical features

Benefits

All teams involved in the process collaborate on the same model, resulting in:

Reduction of planned indirect man-hours

A consensus plan can be realized with less man-hours, and indirect man-hours such as multiple data entry, copy and paste, email, and report creation are reduced.

speed up

A consensus plan can be realized in a short time, and it becomes possible to move from a monthly cycle to a weekly cycle. This means responding quickly to change.

Improved planning quality

By adding a pricing perspective to a plan from a quantity perspective, the mindset changes to a common logical planning that focuses on ``profits will come from selling where, what, and how much,'' rather than focusing on the loudness of the voice.

Similarly, when it comes to production allocation, we take into account constraints and become strategically aware of where it is advantageous to produce.

KPI to evaluate multiple scenarios

KPIs that are preset for multiple planning scenarios evaluate each scenario and help speed up decision-making.

Early return on ROI

There is no risk of failure by cross-departmentalizing the processes and worksheets of talented human resources and deploying them throughout the company without business reform, and business benefits can be recovered quickly by using cloud services for short-term implementation.
