Scenario Planning & Simulation
The problem
Organizations operate in increasingly dynamic environments where demand fluctuations, supply disruptions, capacity constraints, and market changes can significantly impact performance. Without the ability to evaluate alternative scenarios, teams often react to events instead of proactively preparing for them.
How Harumi helps
Is your planning process facing any of these challenges?
Scenario Simulation & Planning enables organizations to explore multiple future outcomes, compare alternatives, and make more informed planning decisions.
Decisions are made with limited visibility
Teams often struggle to understand how changes in demand, supply, inventory, or capacity will affect operational performance.
Unexpected events disrupt execution
Supply shortages, demand spikes, production constraints, and market volatility can quickly invalidate existing plans.
Planning is reactive rather than proactive
Organizations frequently respond to problems after they occur instead of preparing for potential scenarios in advance.
Risk assessment is difficult
Decision-makers lack the tools needed to evaluate trade-offs and understand the potential impact of alternative actions.
Scenario Simulation
Test decisions before they affect your operations
Harumi runs multiple planning scenarios in minutes to help you understand the operational, financial, and customer impact of every decision before you execute it.
Demand Changes
What if demand grows 20% next month? Understand how changes in demand affect production schedules, capacity utilization, inventory, service levels, and delivery commitments.
Capacity Constraints
What if a production line goes down? Simulate machine downtime, labor shortages, maintenance windows, or supplier constraints to identify the best production strategy.
Supply Chain Disruptions
What if materials arrive late? Evaluate alternative sourcing, inventory policies, and production sequencing to minimize delays and maintain customer commitments.
Financial Outcomes
Which plan delivers the best business results? Compare scenarios based on revenue, margins, inventory investment, operating costs, and customer service—not just production efficiency.
Who benefits
Who benefits most from Scenario Simulation & Planning?
Designed for organizations operating in complex and uncertain environments. Ideal for companies that:
Face frequent demand fluctuations
Operate complex supply chains
Need to evaluate strategic trade-offs
Manage significant capacity constraints
Want to improve business resilience
Require faster responses to market changes
Decision Workflow
From planning to confident execution
Build a plan, evaluate alternatives, align your organization, and continuously improve decisions with a connected planning workflow.
1. Plan
Create a realistic baseline. Build an executable plan using demand forecasts, operational constraints, available capacity, and business objectives.
2. Simulate
Explore what-if scenarios. Test changes in demand, capacity, inventory, suppliers, and production before committing to a decision.
3. Compare
Choose the best alternative. Evaluate scenarios side by side using service level, utilization, inventory, cost, and profitability.
4. Execute
Align operations. Publish the selected plan across production, procurement, inventory, and logistics with full organizational alignment.
5. Monitor
Measure and adapt. Track execution against the plan, detect deviations early, and continuously update future planning decisions.
