Demand to Fullfill : Plan->Execute->Visibility->Manage

The ACME factory produced drones. It relies on planners to give it "marching orders". So far, it was told to make 500 drones (Factory:Plan).

The factory relays the need for material to the Supply module, which starts the process to procure inductors (Supply:Plan). Once the order is executed, usually via a P.O. (Supply:Execute), it is tracked by both the procurement and factory teams (Supply:Visibility).

The material arrives in the factory, so it can start the manufacturing process (Factory:Execute). The planners, factory, and transport are keenly interested in the progress of manufacturing, which is tracked (Factory:Visibility).

The transport team starts to plan the shipment of the 500 drones (Transport:Plan). The sooner they plan, the lower the transport cost (don't want to expedite). Once booked the 500 drones are sent to the LP to be packaged,labeled, and shipped. The focus now shifts to tracking (Transport:Visibility).

The Management layer of all the modules (Factory:Manage, Supply:Manage, Transport:Manage, Warehouse:Manage) is where analytics, vendor management, factory performance, expedite charges can be tracked carefully.

The 4 ERP modules (Factory, Supply, Transport, Warehouse) needs to have Plan, Execute, Visibility, and Manage capabilities to be able to quickly react to changes in demand.
