Explore the collection of 15 leading manufacturers who are thriving through materials planning and inventory optimization in an unpredictable world.
When decades of supply chain wisdom meets the precision of inventory optimization.
Johnson Controls, a global diversified technology and multi-industrial leader, successfully centralized supply chain operations across 40 sites. This initiative aimed to overcome the complexities of managing disparate systems and data across numerous global locations.
“When you are trying to manage multiple sites, and you have the challenge of multiple ERP systems in your organization. A tool and solution comes in handy because you have one location to look at all your data.”
Ximena Wilson, Director of Global Inventory & Materials Planning at Johnson Controls
Modine, a global leader in thermal management, standardized its supply chain workflows and embraced data-driven decision-making to tackle persistent material shortages and supplier delays.
“If you want to have data driven decision making, you’ve got to have data, and it’s got to be good.”
James Dawsey, Director, Supply Chain Data and Technology at Modine
Flowserve, a leading provider of flow control products and services, sought to enhance its daily decision-making by achieving real-time, comprehensive visibility across its global operations.
“LeanDNA is giving us the opportunity to have connections and visibility to the different sites, and really connect the teams together. Having the opportunity to see daily updates and make decisions on a daily basis is very powerful.”
Elena Rodriguez, Global SIOP / Materials Management Director
Manufacturing strength through uncertainty.
A leading medical device company needed quick visibility and control to handle demand spikes and secure critical components.
"With LeanDNA, we can look at all of our inventory quickly and react to massive spikes in demand within minutes, if that. It gave us an extreme upper hand. We are organized and know exactly what needs to be done."Read More
E-ONE, a pioneering automotive parts manufacturer, faced potential production halts and inventory shortages due to global supply chain disruptions like the semiconductor shortage. Their prior manual processes led to excessive time spent on data analysis rather than proactive problem-solving.
“When dealing with potential shortages, we have the ability to generate clarity and ultimately prioritize anything that could actually impact an order or shipment.”Read More
Cirtec, a leader in outsourced medical device solutions, aimed for a triple win: a significant 20% inventory reduction, proactive prevention of material shortages, and simultaneous improvement in their customer on-time delivery (COTD). They sought to safeguard their production lines and ensure uninterrupted supply to customers.
“We found that we could rightsize our inventory and maintain and improve our on-time delivery at the same time. That’s the problem we needed to solve.”
Tim Binder, Supply Chain Director at Cirtec
Where supply chain optimization meets financial transformation.
A global aerospace manufacturer needed to optimize inventory and free up capital but was held back by inefficient processes and limited analyst bandwidth.
“With LeanDNA, our analysts spend less time writing reports and more time analyzing data and driving results.”Read More
Husky Shanghai aimed to achieve a dual objective: a significant reduction in material shortages and a simultaneous decrease in excess inventory. They sought to improve their digital supply chain synchronization and leverage key data insights for better inventory decisions across shortage levels, excess, and delivery performance.
“With improvements in our overall supply chain performance, including delivery, excess orders, and inventory, this will definitely bring savings and ultimately support our business.”
David Yan, Purchasing Team Leader at Husky Shanghai
Data gaps kept Autronica from quickly addressing shortages, impacting production and CTB.
“LeanDNA has helped visualize our data. I can open LeanDNA and show my boss the data in a visualized way. I can even filter by production line, something I could never do in the ERP.”Read More
“LeanDNA excels at surfacing actionable insights in a clear and prioritized way. Instead of sifting through complex spreadsheets or ERP reports, our teams can immediately focus on the highest-impact supply risks, excess inventory, and improvement opportunities.”
“LeanDNA allows for real-time visualization of critical needs, structuring of action plans, and better alignment of purchasing, supply chain, and production teams. This results in better anticipation, reduced emergencies, and smoother communication with suppliers.”
“LeanDNA has all of my tasks in one place; I'm able to access my purchase lines, manage shortages, narrow down supplier issues, and track on time delivery with just a few clicks of a button.”
“LeanDNA greatly facilitates team collaboration by allowing comments to be added to orders (items), which enables sharing the right information with the right people.”
