About the Course:
One of the key challenges in an implementation is creating right-sized planning networks that align with the needs of decision-makers at each planning level—whether it's scheduling production for next week or setting a sourcing strategy for next year. The fully detailed network received from the ERP may be ideal for short-term execution, but it’s too complex for mid- and long-term planning. This course explains the types of aggregation needed to support those broader planning horizons. It also introduces o9’s parameter-based approach in the LiveServer, which allows configurators to build flexible, fit-for-purpose models without writing custom scripts. The result: faster time to value, greater adaptability to business changes, and a lower long-term total cost of ownership.

The objectives for this course are:
- Explain why we need aggregated networks for right-sized decision-making across different planning horizons
- Differentiate the two categories of use cases: Aggregation along the supply chain and aggregation along product, location, and time dimensions
- Describe how o9 enables aggregate network creation using parameter-based network definition
