Replenishment Scenario IV
Forecast-based Supplier-Managed Inventory (SMI), Version 1.0
Business Overview
Buyer sends consumption plan containing gross requirements
(planned consumption), inventory levels, and min/max inventory targets.
Receipt data sent by buyer so seller can calculate in-transit quantities
(embedded Receipt Advice). Seller nets forecast data to determine
replenishment requirements based on buyer's inventory levels and
min/max targets. Seller may send replenishment plan to buyer, which
conveys planned shipments so buyer can evaluate the plan. Buyer
may use plan for other purpose, such as anticipating receiving workload.

Narrative
| Step |
Description |
| 1. |
Buyer generates Consumption Plan
per Forecast/Planning Model 3. Seller generates response if
needed. |
| 2. |
If supplier determines that replenishment
is required during the current planning cycle, buyer invokes
Order Model 3B - Release Against Blanket Purchase Order, Supplier-Managed. |
| 3. |
If changes from a previous plan are
within acceptable tolerance for change, seller generates plan
for future replenishment. Seller sends replenishment plan to
buyer (optional) per Forecast/Planning Model 4; this is optional
because buyer may not require that the replenishment plan be
sent. The buyer responds to the replenishment plan if needed. |
| 4. |
Prepare for the next cycle of preparing
and generating Consumption Plan. If there are changes arising
out of a supplier's response to Consumption Plan or a buyer's
response to the replenishment plan, they are dealt with during
this activity, then the next generation of the SMI starts again
with 'Generate Consumption Plan.' |
