[Book Your Demo](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/request-a-demo?hsLang=en) ## An Innovative Solution The **variability** in demand and markets, and the**unpredictability** of events affecting supply chains with increasing frequency require greater **responsiveness** and **agility**, combined with a focus on the critical points of the entire supply chain, to ensure both responsiveness to the market and operational performance. [**sedApta**](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta?hsLang=en), together with [**Real Throughput**](https://www.realthroughput.com/en) —a strategic partner with many years of experience in business transformation—address this need by offering a solution that **elevates** traditional operations planning processes, supporting management in making more effective business decisions. With this goal in mind, the **Financial Throughput & Operations Planning**: the tool that was missing to effectively integrate **financial and operational planning** and provide management with the right support to make operational, tactical, and strategic decisions. [Talk to an expert](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/contact?hsLang=en) ## Tangible impact on operations * * * Aligning financial and operational planning is not a theoretical exercise. This results in faster decision-making, more predictable margins, and less time spent reconciling data across different systems. These are the four areas where sedApta customers see the most significant results. ### Higher throughput Identify the bottlenecks that are holding back production and take action where it counts, before they affect your profit margin. ### Better use of resources Production capacity, labor, and assets are allocated based on actual financial priorities, not operational habits. ### Faster financial reconciliation The operational plan and the financial plan use the same data. Fewer manual reconciliations, fewer errors, fewer meetings to reconcile the numbers. ### More stable margins Operational decisions are evaluated using metrics such as throughput, investment, and operating expenses. You know in advance the financial impact of each decision. ## How the solution works Five capabilities that transform planning into a business management tool. - **Connects financial and operational planning:** A single model shared between finance and operations. No more different versions of the same plan circulating between departments, no more meetings to figure out why the numbers don’t add up. - **Measures throughput impact before execution:** Every operational decision is evaluated using throughput, investment, and operating expense metrics before it is implemented. You know in advance where you’re creating value and where you’re eroding it. - **Enables what-if scenario simulation:** You can adjust volumes, product mixes, prices, and capacity, and see the financial impact of each change in real time. Comparing alternative scenarios becomes a standard part of the decision-making process. - **Drives cross-functional alignment:** Supply chain, manufacturing, and finance work toward the same goals and with the same priorities. Alignment no longer depends on who manages to impose their Excel spreadsheet. - **Supports constraint-based decisions:** The plan is built taking into account actual capacity constraints. What you approve is something you can actually carry out without any last-minute changes. ## Focus on business objectives Now and in the future, the primary goal of companies is to **generate profits and value** in a sustainable manner for all stakeholders. To assess the effectiveness of plans and ensure that decisions align with strategy, it is necessary to use **more effective financial metrics** to support managers in their decision-making processes. Thanks to its holistic perspective, the sedApta Suite ensures and facilitates real-time collaboration between people, tools, and data across the entire supply chain, supporting management in business **decision-making** processes. To achieve this, the development team at sedApta and Real Throughput set out to improve the quality, effectiveness, and timeliness of the information produced, offering a new approach to measuring the impact on business objectives. ## sedApta and Real Throughput are refocusing on the strategic role of management sedApta’s technology and Real Throughput’s expertise come together in a solution that removes the significant limitations imposed by traditional cost accounting systems when used in decision-making and what-if scenario analysis. Specifically, thanks to sedApta’s Control Tower and the metrics of **Throughput Economics** , management is focused on specific targets: namely, meeting the **critical-to-business** measured by Throughput, Investment, and Operating Expenses, and the **critical-to-market** measured through the operational KPIs of the Supply Chain. All of this is done quickly and efficiently, eliminating the need for the complex cost allocation mechanisms typical of cost accounting. ## "What-if" scenario analysis Thanks to a powerful finite-capacity engine focused on constraints, combined with sedApta’s Control Tower, users can easily create various simulation scenarios: starting from an initial scenario, they can modify the system’s key variables (volumes, product mix, prices, capacity, etc.) and analyze the effects in real time using financial metrics such as **Throughput**, **Investment**, and **Operating Expenses**. These are accompanied by other parameters that enable a comprehensive analysis of all aspects related to specific interests, allowing users to compare different scenarios to make the most advantageous decisions. ## Related Products * * * ### [Demand Management](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/demand-management?hsLang=en) [Learn more Demand Management](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/demand-management?hsLang=en) ### [Intelligente Forecasting](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/intelligent-forecasting?hsLang=en) [Learn more Intelligente Forecasting](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/intelligent-forecasting?hsLang=en) ### [Order Promising](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/order-promising?hsLang=en) [Learn more Order Promising](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/order-promising?hsLang=en) ### [Inventory Management](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/inventory-management?hsLang=en) [Learn more Inventory Management](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/inventory-management?hsLang=en) ### [Resource & Supply Planning](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/resource-supply-planning?hsLang=en) [Learn more Resource & Supply Planning](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/resource-supply-planning?hsLang=en) ### [Smart Supplier Collaboration](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/smart-supplier-collaboration?hsLang=en) [Learn more Smart Supplier Collaboration](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/smart-supplier-collaboration?hsLang=en) ### [Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP)](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/drp?hsLang=en) [Learn more Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP)](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/drp?hsLang=en) ### [Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP)](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/demand-driven-material-requirements-planning?hsLang=en) [Learn more Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP)](https://www.elisaindustriq.com/sedapta/solutions/supply-chain-planning/demand-driven-material-requirements-planning?hsLang=en) ## About Sales & Operations Planning #### Creating Value Through Production Planning In highly demand-driven markets, optimizing Sales & Operations Planning is key to enabling companies to achieve their business goals.
