Resource planning in supply chain management involves allocating and scheduling all necessary resources—such as labor, equipment, and materials—to meet production and distribution goals efficiently. Effective resource planning ensures that inventory levels align with available capacity and demand requirements.Advanced resource planning uses software tools to model scenarios, optimize schedules, and anticipate constraints. This helps avoid bottlenecks, reduce lead times, and minimize excess inventory caused by overproduction or idle resources. Integrating resource planning with inventory management systems supports synchronized and responsive supply chains.
