Israel B. Bentch U.S. Available View Profile Ask A Question View Past Answers	Knowledgeability 10.00 Clarity of Response 10.00 Politeness 10.00 Response Time(hr) 36.5 --Last 90 Days(hr) 20.6 Total Questions 17	I can answer questions about Supply Chain Planning; specifically in demand forecasting, inventory and supply management, promotions modeling, and manufacturing planning. My knowledge is greatest in the area of Manufacturing Planning. I have modeled many processes such as multi-echelon manufacturing, short shelf life finished goods manufacture, the manufacture of goods with extremely long lead times, raw materials consumption, and plant closures/openings. In addition, I can advise on various methods of manufacturing capacity planning and load leveling to minimize labor turnover. I have experience in demand forecasting as well. Specific issues on which I can advise are: optimal customer, item, and location groupings, modeling trend, seasonality, and variability, distribution center closures and openings, and historical sales realignments. In supply planning, I can provide recommendations for planning optimal inventory levels, master data requirements, distribution network modeling, and promotions integration. Finally, most of my experience has been modeling the above topics using the Logility software suite, MS Excel, and sometimes with custom software. I cannot answer questions related to procurement, transportation, 3PL management, cost/price management, or technical questions related to any software other than mentioned. Furthermore, I cannot comment on topics such as heuristics modeling, packaging issues, or international distribution.
