Excel Killer Solution for Bucket RelayAnaplan

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 operation 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 enables the establishment of a standardized process for plans that are currently manually developed by individual organizations using Excel, by standardizing the worksheets and centralizing the data.
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

Consensus planning can be achieved in a short period of time, and the goal is to move from a monthly cycle to a weekly cycle. This means quicker response to change.

Improved planning quality

Adding a pricing perspective to the quantity perspective planning will change the mindset to a common logical planning, which is not based on the volume of voice, but on "where, what, and how much to sell to make a profit."

Similarly, production allocation also changes to a strategic awareness of where it is beneficial to make the product, taking into account the constraints.

KPI to evaluate multiple scenarios

Multiple planning scenarios are evaluated with pre-defined KPIs to evaluate each one and help speed up the decision-making process.

Early return on ROI

No risk of failure by deploying the processes and worksheets of the best talent across departments and the entire company without business transformation, and the business benefits can be quickly recouped through short implementation times using cloud services.
