Maintaining operational relability using LeanwareSCM

The project in numbers

Service level/availability improved by up to 20%
Stock value decreased by up to 23%

“With the help of LeanwareSCM, we have held the top position in the industry for a couple of decades already. The top-notch product availability that is appreciated by our customers is created in a cost-efficient way.”
– Marko Utriainen, Business Director

Solution to problems

The ABC policy has been successfully implemented at the Porvoo factory already for 20 years. LeanwareSCM is used in fact-based business decisions and the optimization of the total operation.

Results

Using a sharp and customer-oriented product policy, the number of stocked items was halved and delivery reliability was increased from below 80% to 99%. By maintaining the policy, the delivery reliability has been kept at 99%, which in turn has reflected back as extremely high customer satisfaction.
