Coverage Planning

Coverage Planning is the key link between Procurement, Production, Inventory, and Sales. It ensures that materials, products, and resources are available when and where they are needed to maximize operational efficiency.

Demand-driven scheduling 

CSB Coverage Planning plans and controls material, production, and sales demands based on current inventory levels, production schedules, and forecasts. It transparently considers quantities, target dates, and priorities, which are continuously updated.
