Business Situation |
The manufacturer had implemented SAP ERP system. The ERP system was unconstrained. There were a number of unique products being supplied to a number of different customers, resulting in complexity to plan the demands.The short-term production planning bucket was 15 days, to consolidate orders, resulting in high levels of inventory. |
Business Solution |
Lighthouse Solution was integrated with SAP to pull relevant data like BOM diagram, inventory and demand. Data unavailable in SAP (Machine capacity, Batching rules) was stored in Lighthouse solution. There were different priorities given to the demand orders and Lighthouse solution generated work order plan accordingly. The short-term planning bucket was changed from 15 days to 5 days, hence reducing the inventory levels. |
