Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment is the Spanish name of the acronym CPFR, an area that was created with the aim of maintaining an optimal inventory level in each participating party and has been implemented in our company since its inception.
Created in 1995 as a result of an alliance between Walmart and the pharmaceutical company Werner-Lambert in the United States, the CPFR consists of a collaborative model focused on strategic and tactical supply chain alignment. From an integrated vision focused on the end customer, the necessary adjustments are made to optimise the flow of both products and information between the agents that make up the alliance.
