Redwood: Save Changes to a Policy Assignment Set Using a New User Experience

With this update, you can confidently adopt improvements by editing policy parameters during simulation runs. After simulating changes and analyzing results, you can click Update Policy Parameters in the Actions drawer to save required policy parameter adjustments to the designated policy assignment set, thus optimizing inventory planning policies without leaving the Redwood user interface. This streamlined process enhances governance, auditability, and efficiency, providing planners with greater control over policy management and ensuring that best-fit strategies are rapidly implemented across your supply chain operations.

To save the changes to the policy assignment set after your simulation plan run, follow these steps:

  1. In your replenishment plan, on the More Actions menu, select View More.
  2. In the Actions drawer, in Plan Actions, click Update Policy Parameters.

The Update policy parameters drawer opens.
