Increased Growth, Domestic-to-Global Operations All Covered by SCM Solution

Solution & Results: With SAP SCM, our client increased the number of combined item-locations offered in some regions while maintaining 12 inventory turns annually and over 99% service levels. Our client met long-term inventory targets within a few months of start-up. On the domestic front, our supply chain solutions helped our client align production, material, and storage constraints with projected demand. This alignment resulted in reduction of over 40% of finished goods inventory during a two-year period. Out-of-stocks were cut, as were materials obsolescence costs. Global distribution required a planning process synchronizing global sales with regional production. Information-sharing based on SAP SCM supported this process; now, instead of expensive, carefully coordinated business trips to Finland, US-based supply chain executives readily hold meetings with colleagues internationally via teleconferences.
