Our business DDOM and DDMRP cases
PROTEA CHEMICALS : Who stole my inventory?
After 4 attempts with a variety of forecasting/APS solutions spanning almost 2 decades, Protea Chemicals never really felt in control despite continued efforts to ‘improve the forecast’ and ‘optimize the safety stocks’ across their network. Then 1 year after implementing DDMRP service level had soared whilst inventory levels plummeted leaving many wondering if the inventory had been stolen as they stared at the vast empty spaces in their warehouses.

Sames Kremlin : Zen Planning
Our first customer will always be special. Before adopting DDMRP, service levels were not where the company needed them to be. Planners were scrambling to chase orders, inventory and material availability. Production focused on OEE and the competitors frequently outpreformed them. The results and awards (King of Supply Chain in France 2018) speak for themselves, but the way DDMRP alleviated stress and united the company was special.

From MRP to DDMRP
next evolution of the primary planning mechanism
Industries
DDMRP is an evolution of the current forecast driven MRP that was developed over 40 years ago and is embedded in most ERP systems today. Because this primary mechanism is causing high inventories, poor service levels and overcapacities issues, many companies now consider these techniques obsolete and are actively looking for an alternative approach. DDMRP has already been successfully deployed across retailers, distributors and manufacturers from a wide range if industry sectors.
DDMRP has been successful deployed across manufacturing, distribution and retailing.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers have the longest lead time, suffer the highest degree of variability and are being penalized if they don't meet the OTIF standards of their customer.
Distribution
Distributors are caught in the middle. They constantly try to appease their customers while relying heavier upon manufacturers where all of the risk pools.
Retail
Retailers are having to deal with rapidly changing market trends that enable the consumer to access products in ever increasing ways. This makes price and availability key.
