The company was facing fundamental supply chain shifts with increasing numbers of complex configurations in the product portfolio and a rapidly growing customer base. In addition to that, the planning process for mold capacity planning, blade manufacturing, blade transportation and blade installation at customer sites were disconnected, leading to cost and inventory issues.

業務範囲での課題
End-to-End Visibility
The Wind Turbine division lacked visibility of constraints and cost from mold capacity planning all the way to installation at customer sites.
o9の支援
With o9, the company will get a digital twin providing visibility to demand (pipeline of opportunities), transportation, blade manufacturing and mold manufacturing capacities and costs.
Planning in Silos
Due to fragmented/siloed business processes and supporting systems, the Wind Turbine planning teams were unable to collaborate across multiple functions.
o9の支援
With o9, the company will get the unique capability of connecting all functions and all planning processes on one single integrated platform. This creates a single source of truth with improved speed and better quality of decision-making.
Analytics and Scenario Planning
The legacy processes and tools resulted in time-consuming planning and reporting efforts by planners, based on snapshots of data. The planning workforce spent the majority of their time number crunching rather than intelligent planning and decision-making.
o9の支援
With o9, the company no longer needs to manually move data and is able to make decisions and run scenarios based on real-time insights. For instance, the company now has the ability to run fast scenarios on demand upsights and mold-mix changes.
