Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Supply chain planning systems are designed to optimize the production, inventory, and distribution of products. They focus on planning aspects such as establishing inventory levels, identifying transportation modes, determining storage locations for finished goods, and deciding on production volumes. Tracking the physical status of goods, however, falls under the domain of supply chain execution systems, not planning systems. Execution systems are responsible for the real-time monitoring and management of the physical flow of products.
