5 FORECAST Improve planning, increase efficiency: GIB Dispo-Cockpit Forecast for demand planning and forecasting GIB Dispo-Cockpit Forecast supports the process of decentralized planning and offers consolidation functions within a central planning monitor. The application regulates and controls the transfer to the ERP system or to alternative subsystems. In addition, several different features in the field of forecasting and monitoring are provided and supported by a clearly arranged Dashboard. Demand planning and forecasting tool GIB Dispo-Cockpit Forecast is fast and easy to operate. Thus unfolds a high degree of efficiency. Reliable forecast procedures facilitate rolling demand planning and provide the possibility to focus on unpredictable material and product groups and to optimize your planning in a sustainable way. In addition, you gain the chance to realize your forecast procedures swiftly for an increase in your ability to deliver and for inventory optimization. Forecast procedures provided by GIB Dispo-Cockpit Forecast allow precise predictions and a correspondingly reliable planning accuracy. Demand is calculated on the basis of historical sales and consumption data as well as on marketing campaigns. These processes are supported by algorithms according to Croston or Winters or by median method, just to mention a few, depending on the course of the examined time series. Thanks to the embedded upload and download functionality it is possible to integrate data from other SAP systems into demand calculation. Furthermore, important information from non-sap systems can also be included into GIB Dispo- Cockpit Forecast. Due to these functions even smaller sales companies, for example, which do not (yet) have access to SAP, are enabled to integrate their forecast demands into consolidation. Via corresponding download procedures data can be collected cyclically by means of a planning calendar. The planning results are used to optimize inventory, service level and capacity planning. Additionally, it is possible to make data available to the vendor via download as , CSV, or GIB Dispo-Cockpit VMI*. In this way it is ensured that all enterprise areas are taken into account in planning. This increases planning accuracy and your competitive edge sustainably. * VMI = Vendor Managed Inventory See page GIB Dispo-Cockpit Forecast 5

6 Demand information from other plants Historical sales and consumption data GIB Dispo-Cockpit Forecast supports the process of decentralized planning by means of automated forecast procedures. Thereby it is possible to include data from various sources. The results are optimized inventories, improved service levels, and a reliable capacity planning.

7 The standard planning hierarchy can take the shape of a sales or plant planning (sales planning: up to 3 aggregation levels of an S-structure, e.g. S001 - VKORG, VTWEG, customer/plant planning: material consumption from DCC or MVER). Alternatively, it can be designed customer-specifically and is therefore highly variable in its characteristics. Intuitive planning interface in an easy to operate Excel-like "ALV grid" format. Automatic forecast selection by monitoring different tracking signals under consideration of consumption constancy XYZ relieves the planner, especially in case of materials which are easy to forecast.

8 CONTROLLING Analyze potentials, simulate service level: GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling for inventory optimization GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling helps you to realize a sustainable inventory optimization with a minimum expenditure of time. You are supported by industry-specific rule sets, based upon any number of dimensions, e.g. delivery classes, product life cycle such as LRODI, value (ABC), constancy (XYZ), and many more. These rule sets can be implemented into GIB Dispo- Cockpit as pre-configured industry content. The pre-configuration reduces product launch time and leads to a higher degree of efficiency. GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling Dash board allows to control inventory and MRP from one central application. By determination of certain indicators such as capital turnover and range of coverage you will gain automated through application of rule sets an optimum proposition for adjusting your MRP parameters. Consequence: optimization of your inventory and in crease of service level at the same time. With ease you can realize a target-oriented navigation through your inventory key figures and obtain a crucial transparency. Thanks to the simulation mode you can simulate the provided rule sets and their effects on stock and service level. This simulation may be calculated on the level of an individual material, of user-defined aggregation and of a whole plant as well. The simulation mode represents a kind of "learning ground" where the cooperative effects of different MRP types, lot-sizing procedures (Andler, Groff, etc.) and safety values can be predicted accurately. This provides transparency and thus ensures acceptance of the application. 8 GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling

9 GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling scrutinizes your inventory and identifies hidden optimization potentials by means of industry-specific rule sets. Product life cycle Delivery class XYZ analysis for classification by constancy ABC analysis for classification by value Inventory With GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling Dashboard you can control your inventory and your MRP from one central application. The modern multifunctional interface within the GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling Dashboard can be used for the visualization of ABC/XYZ distributions. Additionally, it is possible to set up individual presentations in the field of product life cycle. No matter if you are working with LRODI, ELAN or your own individual method. Thanks to the integrated formula generator there is a multitude of possibilities available to use your logic for the creation of additional decision trees. GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling 9

10 In our RoC/RLT matrix we check replenishment lead times for materials against the requirements currently maintained in the system. We can also look back into the past and examine consumptions. In this example there are 665 materials in stock for more than 120 days, although their replenishment would not take longer than 10 days max. At this point potentials are already perceivable. Thanks to the simulation mode you can simulate available rule sets and their effects on inventory and service level. Ranking provides the possibility to compare top materials from different stock types. The (important) key figures which are to be examined here can be selected individually. 10 GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling

11 OPERATIONS Save time, gain overview: GIB Dispo-Cockpit Operations for day-to-day MRP GIB Dispo-Cockpit Operations is the module for day-to-day business of everybody operating in the field of SCM.

14 BUYING Bundle purchase orders, optimize costs: GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying With its comprehensive additional functions GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying represents the smart solution if you want to optimize your purchase orders in SAP. Optimized purchase order handling Transparent processes Smart and solid MRP Reduced transportation and handling costs Store purchase requisitions as purchase order bundles Consideration of restrictions Real-time simulation Order transactions require transparent processes as well as prudent and reliable material requirements planning. GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying assists you and provides an optimized PO handling in SAP by means of which you can reduce your transportation costs. What s so special about GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying is that purchase requisitions (PReqs) can be combined to purchase order bundles. This bundling of data allows to meet all requirements concerning minimum PO values, transport volume, and weight without exceeding the desired inventory level. By means of real-time simulation you gain proposals of how to adjust your purchase order with regard to restrictions to varying ranges of coverage. By consideration of different RoCs you can scrutinize PO quantities and align them with consumption, requirement, or stock as needed. Already created purchase order bundles can later on be changed and processed further without the need of another MRP run. If single purchase order items are changed, the complete purchase order bundle automatically adjusts to the selected restrictions. You obtain a swift overview and already know today what to order tomorrow. Internal orders and transfers can also be realized easily and effectively by means of GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying. With GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying you gain a professional and reliable solution for retail and industrial processes which assists you in saving time and transportation costs. 14 GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying

Restrictions: Check delivery restrictions such as quantities, limit values, weight, and volume. 16 GIB Dispo-Cockpit Buying

17 PLANNING Determine sequence, expand capacity: GIB Dispo-Cockpit Planning for production planning Planning-relevant capacities normally belong to different production and responsibility areas. For this purpose production areas are divided into planning and information areas in GIB Dispo-Cockpit Planning. Classic scenarios, e.g. direct and indirect planning, are supported. This includes special forms such as planning in square meters, pieces, hectoliters or the like. With GIB Dispo-Cockpit Planning you obtain a tabular planning table for an optimum capacity planning and sequencing of production, process, maintenance, service and planned orders. A clear overview of networks and run schedule quantities in the field of repetitive manufacturing is ensured as well. By drag and drop non-dispatched orders can be dispatched in a simulation mode and checked for feasibility within a graphical display of the capacity situation before conversion. Necessary capacity adjustments, e.g. because of breakdowns, company vacation or extra shifts, can be taken into account fast and easily and presented with their effects. The integration of classic application functions is provided as well. Without any problems topics such as conversion, release and print of planned orders, scheduling, confirmation, exception message, missing parts situations, global availability, COGI processing, etc. can thus be detected, used and completed. Due to integration into SAP, data will always be up-to-date and online. With GIB Dispo-Cockpit Planning capacity loads for the area, the area group, the department and for the whole plant can be inspected in hierarchy structures at a glance.

20 VMI GIB Dispo-Cockpit VMI: Intelligent vendor management Vendor Managed Inventory describes the transition of operational MRP management from the recipient to the vendor. The vendor takes on responsibility for the entire delivery process and inventory management. VMI aims at consumption-based replenishment. This "pull control" ensures that subsequent deliveries will only be made if an actual consumption has occurred at the recipient. The vender takes over operative replenishment planning and delivery control. Thereby, VMI provides the vendor with a transparency and flexibility, which cannot be achieved in case of classic quantity- and date-based POs, and offers considerable optimization options in production and transport. At the same time the recipient significantly relieves his MRP and raises his liquidity. Save costs by means of consignment VMI is often coupled with a consignment process. In this case the vendor stores his goods at the customer site. The customer withdraws the material from this warehouse and thus carries out the purchase. Thus, the purchase process is based on consumption and the recipient s capital lockup is reduced. This form of stockholding is referred to as consignment. The warehouse is described as consignment store. The significant advantage of consignment is that the vendor bears the risk concerning the goods until withdrawal. Due to the delayed transfer of ownership of consignment goods a release of capital is realized. The inventory level indicated by the SAP system equals zero. Only buffer stocks are kept in production. 20 GIB Dispo-Cockpit VMI

21 Benefits for the recipient Increase in material availability and stabilization of supply chain Physical and value-based inventory reduction Reduction of transportation and storage costs Transparent inventory and replenishment situation within the supply chain Decrease in MRP efforts, less schedule changes and setup costs Raise of delivery reliability and customer retention Professional handling of intercompany business Possibility of quota arrangement (multi-sourcing) Database connection Benefits for the vendor Optimized time management for production and delivery Lot size optimization due to transparency and autonomous planning Improvement of own purchase conditions because of plannable and transparent requirements and inventory management Optimization of transportation and storage costs Transparency concerning own inventory and replenishment situation within the supply chain Decrease in MRP efforts, less schedule changes and setup costs PO handling without VMI Information break Relevant MRP information does not reach the vendors. The fixed setting of delivery dates and quantities makes it difficult for the vendor to realize a foresighted planning and often results in delivery delay and high transportation costs. Customer SAP system Information on: Inventory, requirements, forecast, consumption MRP Controller fixed delivery date fixed delivery quantity Vendor ERP PO handling with VMI In GIB Dispo-Cockpit VMI the vendor finds all relevant MRP information from the customer system. Thus he gains the necessary room to optimize his transports and delivery quantities, his ability to deliver and his production as well as his delivery reliability.

23 CUSTOMERS' OPINIONS Logistic processes successfully optimized in SAP: With GIB Dispo-Cockpit Trilux GmbH & Co. KG Stefan Renk, Executive SCM Processes Monier Roofing Components GmbH Marijana Duvnjak, Supply Planning Management BRITA GmbH Norbert Gotthard, Leiter Material Planning Professional & SCM There were a number of good reasons for us to use GIB modules Forecast and Controlling. Above all the SAP integration of the modules. The entire package was the best concept all around. With implementation of GIB Dispo-Cockpit we achieved a significant reduction of stock levels - an increase of our service level from 85% to more than 90%. We had been counting on an improvement of these figures, however, we did not expect this extent. GIB won the bid, not least because the modules Controlling and Operations already met most of our requirements as standard SAP add-ons. Meanwhile, we have four modules successfully in use, which are closely interlinked with each other. In economic terms, the software has already demonstrably paid for itself. Using Dispo-Cockpit, we have become more transparent and faster. In processing of exception messages, we save more than 40% as compared to the past. In DCC we consistently work on stock optimization. With compressed KPIs we have implemented a tool that makes our work a lot easier. Our users and managers are very content with the GIB solution. Customers' opinions 23
