FAQ

Have some questions?

We are talking about a big transformation, and we don’t expect you to know all the specifics right away.​
Are you a DDMRP DDI accredited planning system?

Yes, Orchestr8 is accredited by the Demand Driven Institute since 2016.

What is mindful planning? Performance Driven Planning?

Forecast based MRP creates an automatic built in response to every difference between actual demand and forecasted demand. This creates the bullwhip and excessive exception management processing. Mindful planning is the capability to identify genuine exceptions within a calm stable framework that allows for business as usual demand variability and deals with it autonomously whilst highlighting genuine anomalies for value added planner intervention. The calm stable framework ensures the supply chain operated optimally given its operating constraints expressed in terms of lead time and batch sizes. Results can be improved through targeted optimisation of those real operating parameters and linking the set up to business strategy in a reportable tangible manner.

Does O8 integrate with ERP systems? Is it easy to do?

Yes, we have extensive experience in integrating our planning suite with SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics or JDE as well as integration with bespoke ERP systems.
Integration requirements and protocols are a key part of the design and implementation work at the beginning of each transformation.

Do you provide DDMRP training?

We provide DDMRP training as part of the transformation process. We do not provide ad-hoc training sessions but are happy to give you references of our partner training organisations.

What is your support model?

We offer 24x7 global support plus uniquely, a team of supply chain experts that understand your issues and how to solve them. We are planning specialists with a great software solution, not purely software engineers.

Do you have training materials?

Training is a key part of ensuring the success of implementing Orchestr8. We combine both in-class training with remote learning offerings.
