How does supply planning help the organization?

Supply planning entails determining control, direction, and methods of accomplishing the overall business objective. It enables an organization to affect rather than accept the future. By setting objectives and charting a course of action, the organization commits itself to make it happen. It is such commitment that allows the organization to affect the future. Without a planned course of action, the organization is much more likely to sit back and let things happen and then react to such happenings in a crisis mode.
