Key Use cases
Lighthouse allows sales and operation planning at any level of product, region
and time hierarchies thus providing the required level of depth.
Lighthouse disaggregates data based on the sales history data of the SKU- region
combination. Aggregation is a sum of the lower level data as per hierarchy.
The data measures can be selected from existing planning books or S & OP
specific measures can be created.
Reports and alerts can be created in Lighthouse to show deviations which require
the user’s attention.
Multi-dimensional Drill Down

Lighthouse S&OP allows filtering down of the data as per the user created
classifications and attributes.
Lighthouse allows multiple scenarios to be created and compared to make
effective Demand – Supply balancing decisions.
Lighthouse S&OP allows individual users to record numbers for consensus data
measures based on user role and permissions.

Key Features of the Lighthouse Demand Planning & Forecasting

• Selection of the right forecasting
method depends on the characteristics
of the historical sales data- whether the
data shows seasonality, seasonality and
trend or neither of the two (random
variations)
• Based on the historical data, Lighthouse
proposes a forecast method which can
be changed manually
• The selected forecasting method is run
and the forecast error is determined
• If the error is beyond acceptable limits,
another forecasting method is selected
• Univariate Forecasting - Uses historical
data to determine demand pattern and
proposes the best fit model based on the
lowest forecast error.
• Moving Average
• Models (Constant, Seasonal Trend,
Seasonal
• Exponential Smoothing – Single,
Double
• Auto exponential – additive &
multiplicative
• Holts-Winters
• Croston’s Method
• Causal Forecasting - Causal forecasting
combines external market factors
(economic condition, price, weather, etc.)
while determining the forecast.
• Multiple Linear Regression
Forecasting Techniques Selection of Best-Fit
Statistical Forecasting

Aggregation/Disaggregation
Types
Based on Sales History for
a specific Period
Based on the specified
Split Percentage given as
an input
Equal Proportion if no
sales history is available
Aggregation/Disaggregation is
based on the historical sales
data for specific period or a
split percentage
If there is no historical data
available, the split will be
equal across all the SKU
Location combinations
Aggregation/Disaggregation Types

• Consensus based forecasting
combines different business goals,
different forecasts from different
departments
• Collaborative forecasting brings
different companies in the supply
chain to share information &
produce one forecast
• Result is one number demand plan
agreed up on and owned by all
stakeholders
• Accuracy of the forecast is checked
against actual sales
• Flexibility to plan against multiple
planning horizons & planning
buckets
Collaborative Consensus Planning

Lighthouse Replenishment Planning features drive the operational value levers ,
which directly enhances the shareholder value for an enterprise
Key Features
Lighthouse Offers the flexibility to model complex multi-echelon
supply chains and plan for inventory across the entire chain.
Lighthouse balances end consumer demand signals and forecasts, on
hand inventory and in-transit inventory to create optimal planned
orders.
Parameters such as safety stock in quantity or time, maximum
coverage in quantity or time, lot sizes, lead time etc. are easily
configurable at the item-location level of the supply hierarchy.
Models Complex Multi-echelon Supply
Chain
Optimization of inventory across the
network
Configuration of Multiple
Replenishment Parameters
Comprehensive Reports & Pre-
configured Alerts
Reports and action messages notifying the user of the unusual
deviations are generated. These warrant corrective actions from the
user.
Supply Planning - Key Features

Deployment creates the stock transfers for short-term changes
on both supply and demand side
 Fair share rules for Deployment:
 Proportional allocation based on demand
 Proportional allocation to reach the target
safety stock level
 Quota arrangements
 Priority

PPS- Review and Modification of Results - Interactive Scheduler
User Interface features such as Interactive Scheduler
 Lighthouse Production Planning and Scheduling has a user friendly interface such as Interactive
Scheduler that allows a planner to view, add, edit, overlap or cancel any planned work order for a
given sales order.
 Ease of use to modify the generated production plan according to the dynamic requirements and
priorities.

PPS – Intuitive UI for effective Exceptions Management
 All problems encountered by Lighthouse PPS- material problem, capacity constraints, etc. are
summarized in problem summary.
 Sales Order Late: Sales order is late if the completion date is more than the requested delivery date
of sales order.
 Order Short- Order receives less than the required quantity.
 To look into which orders have the problem, right click on the problem and select order list.

PPS- Order Evaluation Capabilities through -What-if Analysis
 This feature helps the user to run various scenarios or simulations on a sales order and find out if the sales
order can be completed within the due date.
 This is required when:
 A new order is received from the customer and a due date and quantity has to be promised.
 Customer requirements like due date or quantity have changed. These changes can be checked for
feasibility.
 Sales order(s) is (are) selected from the sales order screen. Then either infinite capacity plan or finite
capacity plan button is clicked.
 This opens a new window giving the sales order plan for the selected sales orders.
