This Integrated Financial Planning solution for Manufacturing connects finance, operations, and demand planning teams around a single source of truth, linking demand, production, workforce, procurement, and energy planning, across every plant, or manufacturing site, in real time.
Built on the Anaplan digital planning platform, it enables end-to-end visibility from top-down targets to bottom-up plans, uniting controllers, planners, and operations managers in a single live model. By modelling production capacity, material recipes, labour efficiency, and commodity cost drivers in real time, manufacturers can quickly translate assumptions into an actionable P&L and shift from reactive variance reviews to proactive performance decisions — in the same meeting.
- Top-down P&L driver planning with central assumptions, FX rates, and performance targets.
- Integrated demand, production, and procurement planning across plants, regions, and product lines.
- Real-time P&L updates from any assumption or operational change.
- Integrated Financial Statements – Core P&L outputs seamlessly feed into the Balance Sheet, with automated cash-flow logic flowing through and reconciling back for a connected, end-to-end view of financial performance.
- Production-capacity and machine-performance modelling including downtime and yield analysis.
- Recipe-based material and sub-assembly cost calculations for multi-stage manufacturing.
- Workforce planning for permanent, contract, temporary labour and overtime with efficiency tracking, enabling optimisation of resources and recruitment.
