Franke’s tremendous growth resulted in a very complex supply chain network that was no longer running optimally. Franke’s Kitchen Systems and Water Systems divisions consisted of 42 locations (including 12 production facilities) with four echelons serving 146 markets and more than 125,000 SKUs (equating to 1.4 million SKUMarkets). Seventeen different ERP systems were in use. Data structures and planning processes varied. Franke rolled out SAP as the master database for all locations where SAP was the ERP system, but the system for demand forecasting and planning hadn’t changed nor were these processes integrated. This posed a huge problem given the complexity of Franke’s supply chain network.
For leading digital communications company O2 UK, customer service is everything. That means making sure the right products, in the right numbers, are available on demand.
Mitsubishi Electric EU needed to get inventory levels back under control in one of its spare parts businesses as obsolete stock was doubling nearly every two years. They where seeking to reduce inventory while achieving higher service levels.
Moleskine had to manage supply chain planning across increasing brand complexity in a mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order environments. They needed a demand forecasting tool that would increase service levels and reduce working capital.
