Features
Comprehensive demand planning process to generate consensus demand plan
This solution covers the end-to-end demand planning process to generate for both finished good forecasting and die bank forecasting. This helps users to have an automated consensus demand plan considering inputs from statistical processes, sales and marketing to arrive at one demand number.

Waferization of the demand plan
The demand planners in semiconductor industry wants to see the demand plan in the form of wafers, the demand planners compare these wafer requirements with existing stock to get the sense of overall wafer requirements with existing stock to get the sense of overall wafer positioning.

Frontend and Backend Planning
This solution enables the user to do integrated frontend and backend supply planning. Users can also achieve a constrained supply plan considering simultaneous resource constraints, starts/outs based planning, wafer constraints, lot sizing, etc.
