Chapter Event Objectives
Abstract Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) processes should be a key part of every forecasting professional’s toolkit. CPFR can drive external alignment with customers and improve forecasting accuracy by increasing visibility to partner forecasts, order patterns and retail factors. If executed effectively, CPFR can provide deeper insights into the business (such as qualitative and quantitative store cluster and geographic information) and facilitate development of more effective sales strategies. In addition, CPFR can optimize inventory levels for both vendor and retailer as both sides work to improve end to end operational efficiencies.
Key learnings When to use CPFR to drive improved operational metrics. How to set up a model CPFR process Expected operational, sales and indirect benefits of CPFR How to integrate CPFR into existing forecasting and S&OP processes Possible next steps in the evolution of CPFR

Question 2. CPFR Scope
Which scenarios are encompassed in the CPFR program scope?A. Retail Event CollaborationB. DC Replenishment CollaborationC. Store Replenishment CollaborationD. Collaborative Assortment PlanningE. A-DF. B-D
Answer to Question 1: CVICS published the CPFR framework after Wal-Mart working with Benchmarking Partners piloted CFAR (Collaborative Forecasting & Replenishment) with Warner Lambert. Results were presented at Harvard University on July 30, 1996 and
later referenced in a Business Week article on October 21, 1996 leading to the VICS effort.

According to VICS, what is the average range of benefits companies have gained through CPFR?
A. 2%-8% improvement in in stocks and 10%-40% reduction in inventoryB. 4%-16% improvement in in stocks and 20%-50% reduction in inventoryC. 8%-32% improvement in in stocks and 30%-60% reduction in inventoryD. 16%-64% improvement in in stocks and 40% -70% reduction in inventory

Introduction to CPFR
14
Definition of CPFR
Collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) is a set of business practices to drive (a) systematic inventory reductions, (b) improved service levels and (c) increased sales through vendor/buyer collaboration on demand planning and operational execution.
Trading partners agree to a systematic process of collaborating on critical demand, order, supply and promotional forecasts, leveraging exception management and resulting in an aligned demand/supply plan.
15
Background to CPFR
1995 Began as an initiative
between WalMart and Benchmarking Partners.
1998 Voluntary Interindustry
Commerce Standards (VICS) Association publishes formal framework,
2004 VICS issues major
revision to the modelResults Used by over 300
companies 2-8% improvement in
in stock rates 10-40% reduction in
inventory levels.
Four Major Steps of Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment (CPFR)
Establish the ground rules for the collaborative relationship. Determine product mix and placement and event plans for the period.
History
Forecast consumer point of sale demand as well as order and shipment requirements over the planning horizon
Place orders, prepare and deliver shipments, track retail sales
Monitor planning and execution for exceptions. Leverage KPI scorecard. Share insights and adjust plans for continuous improvement.

When to Use CPFR?
Identify major challenges with forecasting accuracy, service levels and inventory optimization by major customer.
Understand what is required to execute CPFR Internal and partner readiness System and data readiness
Develop business case that quantifies potential benefits of a successful CPFR effort with resources and costs needed for implementation.
Present business case to internal constituents and insure strong cross-functional buy-in from executive leadership.

Step 1. Develop CPFR Framework Agreement Meet with customer for exploratory talks to discuss how CPFR could help drive sales and
improve service. PRE-WORK: Executive sponsor, internal functional leads, available data to share PARTICIPANTS
Vendor: Demand Planning, Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing, Logistics Retailer: Buying Team, Supply Chain Planners, Logistics
INPUTS: Agree on best way to supply order forecasts, retail inventory and retail sales data. TECHNOLOGY: How will you share and present information? CADENCE: Regular working meetings and steering committee updates
Agree on key terms of the agreement. “Order lock” window (typically 4 to max of 8 weeks) in exchange for service commitments or
prioritized service. Agree on order forecast horizon (typically 12-18 weeks) Agree on scorecard – KPIs to evaluate success

Both vendor and retailer will typically review retail sales performance and the event and promotional schedule.
Vendor will typically monitor shipments and orders at M-2 in order to drive improved planning accuracy.
In this case, the Vendor order plan is higher than the Retailer's with differences in ship quantities and timing.
Retailer wants more product earlier than is currently available.
Vendor uses CPFR to align on supply availability.

Samsung Case Study
Approach Retailers commit to order lock window of 4-6 weeks in return for high and prioritized
service levels. Samsung internal system records major retailer sales, forecasts and inventory via EDI. CPFR planners update order forecasts and review them weekly with major retailers for
alignment. Adjusted CPFR forecasts are sent to plants which provide weekly updates on supply
availability. CPFR team monitors order plan adherence, supply problems and service levels,
escalating issues by exception.
Results Ranked by Gartner Among Top 10 Supply Chains Worldwide Able to use JIT DC supply strategies based on strong order plan adherence by retailers to
achieve minimal month-end inventory at end of each month in many areas. Service level generally at 98%+ for top retailers in TV excluding factors beyond
Samsung’s control such as port strike.
