Global supply chain optimization

Project background

As a globally leading manufacturer of lighting systems, the company faces the complexity of supply chains for highly customized products. Its customer orders involve over 4,000 product features, corresponding to more than 5,000 assembly part numbers, spread across over 40,000 raw material inventories in multiple factories and warehouses worldwide (Penang, China, Singapore, San Jose).

In addition, the enterprise promises to confirm and arrange delivery within 48 hours, which places extremely high demands on production and inventory scheduling.

Customer pain points

   • Complex product mix, difficult supply chain matching, and long order processing time

   • Lack of a global perspective makes it difficult to coordinate global production capacity and inventory optimization

   • The pressure of delivery commitments is high, making it difficult to find the optimal production plan within a short timeframe

Solution(s)

   • Operational optimization + scenario analysis, intelligently matching orders with production capacity

   • Supply chain optimization calculation based on data, balancing inventory and production planning

   • Visualize factory capacity allocation and predict the impact of resource adjustments on delivery time

Project effectiveness

✔ Significant improvement in delivery forecast consistency & reliability

✔ Reduction in S&OP plan preparation time by ≥50%

✔ Optimize inventory management and improve on-time delivery of orders
