Unlike the use of stand-alone systems throughout production, the CSB solution delivers valuable consistency through control of the entire process, from sales to production planning and purchasing planning. As a result, as Privatmolkerei Bechtel's IT Manager, Thomas Karl, explains, "Input errors through transmissions or incorrect calculations in the data exchanges are not an issue for us at all." The CSB software brings together long-term, mid-term and short-term planning in a single system that provides a consistent overview of the entire operation. Long-term sales planning covers both the past seven weeks, the current week and the forecast for the next eight weeks. Planning calculations are based on a number of factors, including order and sales quantities, campaigns, cleaned-up quantities, statistical forecasts, additions and removals from listings, and even public holidays.
