15 Setup Default Parameters

This chapter allows you to set default values for key metrics needed for the setup of the supply chain network and of the replenishment parameters. Some of the metrics are already prepopulated with default values. You can keep them or you can change them to what is more appropriate for your business. The default values are meant to get you started with the setup of the application. However, the values for the metrics are meant to be refined using the business rule engine. For instance, planning calendars may be different for fast fashion items than more basic items. The same can hold for lifecycle phases. Replenishment parameter settings can also be different by merchandise, but also by location. For instance, urban locations may be replenished more often than rural locations due to population density.

Working with the Setup Default Parameters workspace is optional.
