Planning Maturity Diagnostic

Find out where your ERP-based planning process is breaking down across demand, supply, inventory, and execution risk.

Most manufacturers already have planning data inside their ERP. But many still rely on Excel, manual reconciliation, and planner judgment to make critical supply chain decisions. This diagnostic shows where planning risk is hiding, what business exposure it may create, and where a control-tower layer could help your team flag, diagnose, prioritize, and act faster.

Priority gap: Inventory Parameters. Stale safety stock and lead-time assumptions are the most likely source of excess + stockouts.

The gap

ERP is the system of record. But planning still breaks outside the system.

Many mid-market manufacturers have invested heavily in ERP. Yet planning teams still wrestle with the same recurring issues — every cycle.

Forecasts get produced every cycle, but no one downstream really plans off them.

The system makes recommendations, but the parameters behind them are stale or hand-maintained.

Shortages and excess inventory happen at the same time.

Supply, demand, inventory, and commitments are reviewed in separate workflows.

Leaders find out about service and inventory risk too late.

Planners spend more time reconciling data than making decisions.

What it measures

Five dimensions of planning maturity

The diagnostic mirrors how a control tower reads your operation — scoring the five places where ERP-based planning tends to break down.

Forecast Trust

Whether teams trust the forecast, can explain what changed, and know where it needs human review.

Supply Visibility

Whether you can see what changed, tie shortages to revenue, and weigh recovery options before acting.

Inventory Parameters

Whether stock policies are maintained, diagnosed at the root cause, and tested before you change them.

Planning Workflow

Whether demand, supply, inventory, and execution run in one connected workflow or fragment across tools.

Decision Speed

Whether you can spot the real bottleneck and move from decision to action while it still matters.

Who it's for

You have ERP — but planning still feels harder than it should be.

This diagnostic is built for manufacturers who've made the ERP investment and still feel the friction in day-to-day planning.

You plan in Excel despite having ERP planning functionality
You don't fully trust MRP or forecast recommendations
You fight excess inventory and stockouts at the same time
Your inventory and lead-time assumptions haven't kept up with how you actually operate
You can't quickly see which supply issues threaten revenue or service
You want better visibility without ripping out the ERP

Step 1 of 6

Smarter planning starts with knowing where the gap is.

See where your ERP-based planning process is leaking service, inventory, and time — then close it with an intelligence layer on top of the systems you already run.
