Supply Chain | 225 days ago |

To optimize decision making across its global supply chain, OEM Worldwide, a global supplier and manufacturer of medical, telecom and industrial products, implemented Oracle Rapid Planning. With a complex global supply chain where product availability and customer demands cause constant changes, OEM Worldwide needed a fast, event-driven planning and simulation solution that could provide the visibility required to help improve customer service, and streamline supplier relationships.

After a competitive review of vendors, including Kinaxis and Synchrono, Inc., OEM Worldwide selected Oracle Rapid Planning to deliver actionable insights required to identify the most profitable decisions. By leveraging the robust functional planning capabilities and simulation analytics in Oracle Rapid Planning, OEM Worldwide expects to improve the management of available resources throughout its global supply chain.

In addition, leveraging Rapid Planning integrations to Oracle E-Business Suite, OEM Worldwide will be able to embed the real-time decision making into their existing processes enabled by Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle’s Agile Product Lifecycle Management.

On the first day after implementation, OEM Worldwide was already able to simulate multiple options for fulfilling a customer request and respond back to them within a few hours, down from a typical 24 hours in past.

“With our fast-paced and dynamic global supply chain, it is absolutely necessary that we have the ability to rapidly identify and adapt to changes in supply and demand to provide the service our customers expect,” said LeRoy Broesder, vice president supply chain, OEM Worldwide. “With Oracle Rapid Planning, we have better visibility into our global supply chain and the insights required to make informed and profitable decisions. This provides us with superior agility in the face of unexpected market and resource fluctuations.”
