Every day Epicor ERP software generates orders and production quantities based on user-specified planning parameters such as lead times, safety stocks, reorder points, order quantities, and min./max. levels. Unfortunately, approaches for determining these parameters are often user-defined rule-of-thumb methods that do not account for inherent demand and supply variability. Formal updates of these planning parameters tend to be manual and take weeks or months to complete, resulting in infrequent updates that do not account for continual changes in demand, lead times, item importance, and evolving business goals.
