Many companies use planning tools that have been implemented several years ago. Models and parameters have been set at the start, but often not adapted to rapidly changing dynamics. Moreover, everybody seems to embrace advanced analytics to get grip on this evolving environment, and companies are afraid to fall behind.
APS vendors are fueling this fear by promoting next generation tools as the solution. Next to the traditional APS vendors, ‘new kids on the block’ are emerging, making it even more difficult to make a choice. Besides, only few companies already have a clear view on how advanced analytics could give them a competitive advantage.
