What has changed in the new model?
Collaboration Participants: The consumer has been placed at the center of the model, rather than off to one side, so the ultimate focus of collaborative efforts is clear. Collaboration Activities: CPFR has been transformed from a linear process to an iterative cycle of four activities: Strategy & Planning, Demand & Supply Management, Execution and Analysis. These Collaboration Activities rebalance the original model, maintaining the emphasis on planning and forecasting, while increasing the emphasis on execution and analysis. While activities are presented in a logical order, they are not numbered, and no predetermined sequence is implied. Collaboration Tasks: Eight Collaboration Tasks replace the “9-steps” of the original CPFR model. Steps 4, 5, 7 and 8 have been consolidated into a single “Exception Management” task, making room for new Order Fulfillment and Performance Assessment tasks.
