					<description><![CDATA["Enterprise Resource Planning". The word "planning" is right there in the name. Yet walk into any manufacturing, distribution, or retail operation, and you'll find planners doing their actual planning somewhere else — usually in spreadsheets.  This goes back to the origins of both business computing and our understanding of how to think about the future.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Introduction When we make a plan in supply chain, we like single numbers. After all, a plan needs to be executed. When placing a purchase order, we need an exact quantity to order. Production needs to know exactly how many parts to produce. We cannot use ranges or probabilities in execution. So it is understandable [&#8230;]]]></description>
