September 10, 2024
-
FTI Consulting was retained by a leading global building materials manufacturing company to develop a demand planning model that would drive product supply management.
Our Impact:
- FTI Consulting developed a future-state demand planning model, aligning customers’ wants with the company’s production.
- The demand planning model was implemented in the company’s SAP Integrated Business Planning (“IBP”) system, reducing the business risk of producing excess inventory.
- Our experts identified data cleansing opportunities which were subsequently pursued by the company.
Our Role:
- FTI Consulting created a modern demand planning model that leveraged customer demand signals, company data and modern forecasting methods.
- Our team built the data model needed to support the new demand planning model, working with the company’s data and analytics team to identify sources of data, data cleanup requirements and data stewards.
- Identifying that the company already used SAP extensively, FTI Consulting selected SAP IBP as the technology to support the new demand planning model, and the integration of this module supported an enterprise-wide common technology platform.
