Design and implementation of a dedicated S&OP application
CHALLENGE
A high-tech industrial equipment manufacturer has a complex supply chain with many SKUs and long lead times. It was struggling to match supply with demand, which was fluctuating strongly. Multiple engineering changes.
APPROACH
Through data analytics we mapped the characteristics of the business and identified key levers for improvement. This led to the design and implementation of a dedicated S&OP application – a decision-support tool.
Improved delivery performance, less stock, fewer stockouts and better use of critical resources (personnel, equipment, space).
