新鲜，准确的劳动力计划开花在绿叶

“Our facilities operate 24/7—storing, packaging, and shipping fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms,” says Erwin in ‘t Veld, supply chain manager at The Greenery, a fresh produce supplier based in The Netherlands. “We work with products that can suddenly be in great demand, and that can deteriorate in quality very quickly, so speed and flexibility are key in our business.”

To keep operations moving smoothly, staffing requirements for The Greenery’s warehouse in Barendrecht change daily, or even hourly. This sort of detailed workforce planning was difficult with spreadsheets because data volumes were too great and operations depended on the person who built and ran the spreadsheet. Inaccurate staffing plans meant unnecessary overtime or sending unneeded workers home, which increased costs.

\r\n

The team at The Greenery discovered Anaplan and asked Finext to create a workforce planning proof of concept (PoC). That successful PoC was subsequently moved into production use. The Anaplan solution uses data from The Greenery’s SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and other sources to create two different schedules: a staff schedule for each day, which also drives staffing for the following day; and a forecast that predicts the staffing needs for the coming week.

\r\n

Managers now build work schedules directly in Anaplan, which has proven faster and easier to update than the previous solution. “This saves a lot of time up front,” In ‘t Veld says, “and because schedules drive other calculations, Anaplan has become the way to go when it comes to data analysis concerning the Barendrecht warehouse.”

\r\n

Solution creation with Finext was a collaborative effort. “We used a co-build or coaching model, where people from The Greenery did much of the work themselves,” says Willem van Os of Finext. “That way, they are now able to maintain the Anaplan solution independently.”

\r\n

The primary benefit of the solution has been more-precise staffing plans. “With Anaplan, we see information in real time and can deploy exactly enough manpower for a given moment,” In ‘t Veld says. This saves on workforce costs and improves order fulfillment.

\r\n

In addition, decision-making at The Greenery has become more agile, which is vital given its perishable product. “We are data-driven without being stuck in systems,” In ‘t Veld explains. “The agility of Anaplan, and the potential to build additional models ourselves, are great advantages.” The new solution provides a solid foundation for digitization and transformation; The Greenery looks to deploy more than a dozen additional connected supply chain and finance use cases on the Anaplan platform.

\r\n

“I had high expectations in advance of the implementation,” In ‘t Veld concludes. “We are well on our way with Anaplan, and our expectations have been fulfilled.”

“我们的设施全天候运营，储存、包装和运输水果、蔬菜和蘑菇。”荷兰生鲜农产品供应商The greens的供应链经理欧文·恩特·维尔德说。“我们经营的产品可能会突然出现巨大需求，而且质量会迅速下降，因此速度和灵活性是我们业务的关键。”

为了保持运营的顺利进行，绿色植物在巴伦德雷赫特的仓库的人员需求每天都在变化，甚至每小时都在变化。使用电子表格很难进行这种详细的劳动力计划，因为数据量太大，操作取决于构建和运行电子表格的人。不准确的人员配备计划意味着不必要的加班或将不需要的员工打发回家，这增加了成本。

The绿叶的团队发现了Anaplan，并要求Finext创建一个劳动力计划概念证明(PoC)。这个成功的PoC随后被投入生产使用。anplan解决方案使用来自The greens的SAP企业资源规划(ERP)系统和其他来源的数据来创建两个不同的时间表:每天的员工时间表，这也驱动了第二天的人员配备;以及预测未来一周员工需求的预测。

经理们现在直接在anplan中建立工作时间表，这已经被证明比以前的解决方案更快更容易更新。“这节省了大量的时间，”In ' t Veld说，“因为时间表驱动其他计算，当涉及到巴伦德雷赫特仓库的数据分析时，Anaplan已经成为了一种方式。”

与Finext一起创建解决方案是一项协作工作。Finext的威廉·范·奥斯(Willem van Os)表示:“我们采用了一种共同构建或指导模式，来自The Greenery的员工自己完成了大部分工作。通过这种方式，他们现在能够独立维护Anaplan解决方案。”

该解决方案的主要好处是更精确的人员配备计划。in ' t Veld说:“通过Anaplan，我们可以实时查看信息，并为特定时刻部署足够的人力。”这节省了人力成本并改善了订单履行。

此外，绿色植物的决策变得更加灵活，这对于其易腐烂的产品至关重要。in ' t Veld解释道:“我们是数据驱动的，而不是被困在系统中。“Anaplan的敏捷性，以及我们自己构建更多模型的潜力，都是巨大的优势。”新的解决方案为数字化和转型提供了坚实的基础;绿色环保组织希望在Anaplan平台上部署十多个额外的连接供应链和金融用例。

in ' t Veld总结道:“在实施之前，我有很高的期望。“我们的Anaplan计划进展顺利，我们的期望已经实现。”
