Multi echelon capability is the ability of software to see the entire supply network and manage the inventory in that network as a “pool,” rather than as a group of independent locations.
Managing two echelon inventory by Streamline
Streamline allows you to plan inventory and generate purchase plan in case of two-echelon planning.
The first echelon is usually represented by consuming locations (for instance, stores) that generate demand and are supplied by the second echelon – a central warehouse or distribution centre (DC).
Streamline can generate purchase plan for the DC that is used to supply your main stock and corresponding replenishment plans for each of your locations to prevent the stores from the outage.
In this case, depending on your business logic, Streamline allows you to define how the DC should be treated.
Depending on your business logic Streamline allows you to define how the DC should be treated. There are two options:
- DC is considered as an intermediate warehouse between suppliers and locations; or
- in addition to the first option, it also incorporates one of the imported locations.
