OMP supply chain planning and scheduling consultants

OMP functional consultants configure Unison Planning around business planning decisions. For an implementation or an existing configuration review, they assess planning assumptions and translate agreed requirements into configuration.

• Demand planning: Configure forecasting parameters and exception workflows. Review forecast behaviour with demand planners and define acceptance tests against representative demand patterns.
• Supply planning and S&OP: Model capacity and inventory policies, then configure scenarios for sales and operations planning. Validate how supply proposals respond to shortages and changes in demand.

OMP enterprise scheduling specialists configure detailed production schedules where material availability and equipment constraints determine what a plant can execute. They model sequence-dependent changeovers and production calendars, then test scheduling rules against representative orders.

Bring in a scheduling consultant when plans repeatedly require manual resequencing or a new production line changes the constraint model. The work includes reviewing optimization priorities with planners and testing exception handling so proposed sequences reflect agreed operating rules.

OMP integration specialists connect planning models to ERP transactions and maintain the data exchanges that planning runs depend on. They investigate discrepancies between source records and planning outputs before changing interface logic.

• ERP integration: Configure mappings and exchange schedules with systems such as SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA. Add reconciliation checks and error handling for failed transfers.
• Planning data: Validate product and location master data against the configured model. Check lead times and capacity inputs when proposals diverge from operational expectations.

OMP support consultants investigate failed planning runs and unexpected scheduling results. They trace issues to source data or model configuration, apply corrections and verify the affected outputs with business planners.

For upgrades and configuration changes, specialists assess dependencies and prepare regression tests around established planning cycles. They can maintain test cases for demand planning and production scheduling, document configuration decisions, and support user acceptance testing before approved changes reach the production environment.
