Rencontrez Blue Yonder
Événement
To achieve a solution, Lenzing partnered with Blue Yonder to implement Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) across its production operations, as well as its sales, marketing and finance activities.
The company’s goal was to create an extremely accurate end-to-end planning process that matches demand and supply very precisely while also minimizing inefficiencies and maximizing profitability. S&OP addresses these needs by taking a cross-functional approach to integrated business planning that unites all the moving parts across the supply chain with a shared focus to meet demand across markets, with an eye on both immediate and long-term strategic goals.
This implementation represented the first step of a digital transformation for this 80-year-old business. Existing commercial tools, such as Excel spreadsheets, and manually intensive processes were replaced with a specialized solution built to manage the complexity of Lenzing’s worldwide business model. Cross-functional teams were brought together for the first time in an agile, collaborative process, working with a single set of data that is shared across the business.
This new level of transparency and visibility helped Lenzing stakeholders understand the needs of both customers and end consumers, creating a more accurate forecast and, ultimately, a much more agile and responsive supply chain.
