An Inventory Planning System for a Manufacturer of Paper Products
A manufacturer of a wide range of paper products for customers
worldwide wanted to optimize inventory levels across its warehouses.
Trigent developed a central inventory planning system for the
company, designed for use among company planners, senior managers,
independent warehouse personnel, and end customers. The Web-based system manages
information about order forecasts, target inventory levels, shipments to
warehouses, and actual deliveries to customers.
The application gives planners scenario-style analysis tools that
let them see the impact of decisions on forecast inventory levels at any warehouse.
A dashboard allows managers, who previously saw monthly inventory reports, to quickly
see trends, track specific customer orders, and receive alerts to potential problems.
