業務範囲での課題

Manual Demand Forecast

Demand forecasting was a time-intensive, manual process that was unable to keep up with market trends or shape demand effectively.

o9の支援

With o9, they were able to utilize ML analytics, include and analyze demand drivers, and perform attribute-based planning. These improved forecast accuracy for pre- and in-season products
in markets across the globe.

Agile Planning

There was a lack of effective and efficient planning of aggregated raw material purchases. This resulted in lead times that were longer than necessary and less agility to react to changing demand.

o9の支援

With o9, the customer leveraged material purchasing planning, scenario modeling, and pre-build calculations to effectively collaborate with suppliers and become more agile.

Demand/Supply Matching

Supply/Demand matching was complex, time-consuming, and didn’t maximize the ability to respond to market volatility or quickly rebalance inventory based on demand location.

o9の支援

With o9’s Supply Chain Solver engine, the customer created a digital twin of the network and quickly enabled agile responses to demand with inventory and capacity deployed to the right place at the right time.
