Pan-Pro - Supply Chain Automation

<body>  <h1>What We Do</h1> <h2>Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Pan-Pro's supply chain automation system decreases replenishment costs while increasing the satisfaction of your end customers</li> <li>It is a way to make your business more effective and efficient - and more profitable</li> <li>The Pan-Pro system generates optimized replenishment orders, not suggestions</li> </ul> <h2>Supply Chain Automation</h2> <p>Supply chain automation involves the use of computerized algorithms to control the flow of products from their origin to their end customers. When done well, supply chain automation will ensure that there will always be enough product to meet the end customers' demand without waste. The supply chain will be a smoothly running conveyer belt for products. <p>The value of supply chain automation arises from the unfortunate fact that good supply chain management is very hard to accomplish. Generally, instead of a smoothly running conveyer belt, the supply chain has blockages where product piles up, along with hot spots where demand exceeds supply. As a result, customers are turned away because one product is out of stock, while cash is tied up in inventory of another product that is not selling. <p>At Pan-Pro, we pride ourselves on providing you with the best supply chain automation solution available. Pan-Pro's supply chain automation system decreases replenishment costs while increasing the satisfaction of your end customers. It is a way to make your business more effective and efficient - and more profitable. <p>Using Pan-Pro's automated replenishment system, an item will be in stock in sufficient quantity to fill any order an end customer makes. Stock will be available to fill the orders when they come in, but without the cost of carrying extra stock. Pan-Pro's automated replenishment system is even able to forecast when additional stock will arrive and in what quantity.</p> <p>Done the Pan-Pro way, supply chain automation optimizes your supply chain, and gets that conveyor running smoothly.<br> </p>  <h1>What We Do</h1> <h2>Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Knowing when and what to order requires a great deal of experience and sophistication</li> <li>The final output of the Pan-Pro system is an order, not calculations for human review and adjustment</li> <li>Service levels and sales can climb while operational costs disappear</li> </ul> <h2>Automated Replenishment</h2> <p>Good supply chain management requires a careful watch on the flow of product down the supply conveyer. To ensure an optimal flow of products through the supply channel, products must be on the shelf before the end customer needs it. At the same time, inventory is one of the supply chain's greatest costs. Knowing when and what to order requires a great deal of experience and sophistication. Traditional methods of inventory management have been cost prohibitive.</p> <p>At the heart of Pan-Pro's supply chain management service is a fully automated replenishment system that uniquely determines optimal strategy for replenishment of each item. As the real world situation changes, the software automatically adjusts the strategy to continuously find the optimal approach for current replenishment. Once the goals are set, the dynamic, closed loop Pan-Pro system plans and executes the replenishment process. The final output of the Pan-Pro system is an order, not calculations for human review and adjustment. <p>Because orders are generated automatically when needed, there are no delays due to human processing. And as a result of the careful calculations underlying the order, the appropriate amount of stock is in place on the shelves. As a result, service levels and sales can climb while operational costs disappear. At the same time, your people are freed up to manage the exceptions and address business growth opportunities. That's exceptional service - for you and your customers.<br> </p>  <h1>What We Do</h1> <h2>Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Electronic commerce alone cannot provide the advantages of an optimized, fully automated supply chain</li> <li>Pan-Pro's supply chain automation exploits electronic commerce to eliminate the ordering process</li> <li>Your supply chain is optimized to a degree unattainable by any other electronic commerce method</li> </ul> <h2>Beyond EDI and Internet Communications</h2> Many companies have been investing in electronic commerce systems, especially EDI compliant ones, in the expectation that this will give them a competitive edge. Electronic commerce certainly speeds order and billing processing. However, EDI-based ordering still requires human intervention to start an order and human intuition to evaluate and adjust the amount of a given item to order. It is the complexity of making those decisions for every item in every product line that results in unnecessary costs and lost sales. Electronic commerce alone cannot provide the advantages of an optimized, fully automated supply chain. <p>The advantages of the Pan-Pro automated replenishment solution go well beyond the simple efficiencies of electronic commerce. Pan-Pro's supply chain automation exploits electronic commerce to eliminate the entire ordering process. Using highly advanced statistical calculations, the Pan-Pro solution creates a greater precision in replenishment timing and quantity than any other system can accomplish. Product flows automatically, without human intervention.</p> <p>With Pan-Pro's supply chain management, the right products, in the right quantities, are shipped at the right times to provide just the right product mix to meet the end customers' demands. The result? Your supply chain is optimized to a degree unattainable by any other electronic commerce method.<br> </p>  <h1>What We Do</h1> <h2>Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Pan-Pro's automated replenishment system watches the entire supply chain</li> <li>Closed loop processing and integrated performance monitoring ensures continuous improvements</li> <li>Pan-Pro utilizes technologies far more advanced than the market has seen before</li> <li>The depth and quality of Pan-Pro's team ensures that clients will remain on the leading edge</li> </ul> <h2>Computations</h2> <p>Rather than merely forecasting future sales levels and shipping enough quantities to meet the forecasts, Pan-Pro's automated replenishment system watches the entire supply chain, and automatically adjusts to fluctuations and changes on a daily basis. Pan-Pro's system creates a dynamic, automated supply chain. Through its closed loop processing and integrated performance monitoring, the system continuously improves its performance and effectiveness.</p> <p>The automated replenishment system accomplishes this by first calculating the optimal replenishment path for every item at every location. The software then continuously evaluates each supply chain's performance and makes extensive statistical calculations on every item for every location every day. These calculations take into account issues such as current inventory on hand, inventory in transit, cycle times, historical sales patterns, and known upcoming changes to sales levels. The software then evaluates the difference between the optimal path and the current real-world situation. The software finally creates an order that brings the supply chain back in line with the optimal path, ensuring that there will be sufficient stock on hand to meet targeted service levels at the lowest possible cost. <p>While the concept of automated replenishment has been discussed for years, great strides continue to be made. Pan-Pro's patented Service Level Manager and patent-pending Performance Analyzer are far more highly advanced technologies than the market has seen before. And the depth and quality of Pan-Pro's team ensures that Pan-Pro's client will remain on the leading edge of supply chain performance for years to come.<br> </p> </body>
