Plan distribution requirements
How plan distribution requirements are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Plan distribution requirements is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: Though no performing occupations are seeded, the APQC process description ('Maintaining master data', 'Calculate load plans', 'Create and administer a dispatch plan') and the lens ('Plan for and align supply chain resources') point to pure knowledge and computational work. Unlike the physical delivery of goods, the planning and data-management aspects of distribution are executed entirely via digital software systems.

How the work flows
Trigger: Receipt of updated demand forecasts and current inventory levels triggers the need to schedule product distribution.
- Maintain master data for finished products and current inventory
- Identify finished product requirements across destinations and partners
- Calculate source consolidation and determine replenishment needs
- Develop and administer the dispatch plan
- Calculate load plans to maximize transport capacity
- Analyze and manage the costs associated with supplying products
Outcome: A finalized dispatch and load plan optimizes transport capacity and budgets the delivery of finished goods to destinations.
