Challenge

A global life sciences manufacturer with a complex multi-tier supply chain, more than
50 production sites, and a fragmented ERP landscape sought to improve inventory performance and agility in an increasingly volatile market environment

Solution

By redesigning planning from siloed functions into an integrated end-to-end network planning model, the organization harmonized data across legacy systems, redefined planning processes from demand to supply. The implementation of Kinaxis maestro was supported by comprehensive change management by mse e2e. ??????

Result

The transformation significantly reduced end-to-end inventory, eliminated redundant planning activities, increased agility and stakeholder alignment, and established a scalable foundation for expanding supply chain digitalization from planning to end-to-end supply chain management.

We achieved significant reduction of e2e pipeline inventory by elimination “mis-trust-buffers” in lead times and safety stocks.

Comprehensive solution instead of tech only

With plugNplan®, mse e2e solutions delivers a holistic solution approach: proven processes, guidance, and best practice integration. Others offer only software and technical implementation, we bring the full picture. 

Kinaxis Maestro® is the only advanced APS platform that blends heuristics with optimization. Others depend purely on mathematical optimization, which demands near-perfect data. Maestro works with realistic data quality, making it practical, reliable, and fast to deploy. 

Where others send a presales team to make promises and hand off the project later, we provide personal continuity from first conversation to go-live and beyond. You get commitment, not hand-overs.
