Our team tackled this multifaceted challenge through three integrated workstreams—supply planning, demand forecasting, and business intelligence—employing a rigorous diagnose, prototype, pilot, and integrate framework:

Supply Planning Workstream

• Diagnosed misalignments between sales, production, and procurement, revealing a lack of coordinated planning across global operations.
• Prototyped a streamlined supply planning process at a single high-volume site, designing tools to identify production bottlenecks from sales forecasts within minutes.
• Piloted successfully, then scaled the process to all six production plants worldwide.
• Incorporated raw material bottleneck analysis, upgraded tools and integrated both production and procurement into the S&OP cycle, ultimately transitioning ownership to a new client team.

Additional Projects and Implementations

• Conceptual development and creation of new Power BI reports for SCM reporting, along with conducting employee training sessions on their usage.
• Development of a strategy for leveraging Artificial Intelligence in SCM reporting, including the execution of a pilot project.
• Project management for an Inventory Data Migration Project and setup of the new inventory reporting.
