Planning Diagnostic and Maturity
The problem
Many companies live with inaccurate forecasts, manual processes, inconsistent metrics, and low cross-functional integration without clearly understanding where these problems come from. As a result, important decisions are made with incomplete information, creating excess inventory, stockouts, rework, and operational waste.
How Harumi helps
Is your planning facing any of these challenges?
The Planning Diagnostic and Maturity solution evaluates processes, data, governance, technology, and metrics to identify opportunities for evolution. The goal is to create a clear view of the current state and a prioritized roadmap to improve operational efficiency and decision quality.
Forecasts don’t reflect reality
Forecasts show frequent errors, making inventory, production, and supply decisions harder. Over time, confidence in the planning process declines.
Teams work with different numbers
Sales, operations, supply chain, and finance use different assumptions, creating misalignment, rework, and conflicting decisions.
Performance visibility is limited
Metrics are not monitored consistently, making it difficult to identify root causes and prioritize improvement actions.
Processes depend on spreadsheets and individual knowledge
Critical activities depend on manual controls and scattered knowledge, making planning slow, difficult to scale, and vulnerable to errors.
Capabilities
How we assess your planning maturity
A structured analysis of the processes, data, and metrics that affect decision quality and operational performance.
Forecast Accuracy Assessment
Analyze current forecast performance using recognized market metrics. Identify recurring deviations, error patterns, and opportunities to improve planning reliability.
Bias and Behavior Analysis
Detect tendencies to overestimate or underestimate demand and understand how those behaviors affect inventory, capacity, and customer service.
ABC and XYZ Segmentation
Classify products, customers, or categories by financial relevance and demand variability. This makes it possible to define differentiated planning strategies for each profile.
Data Quality Assessment
Identify inconsistencies, gaps, and governance issues that compromise analysis and forecasting.
