Success is a story – Wrap up long plans with SAP IBP
Amcor Specialty Cartons were seeking to transform their demand planning and forecasting processes. They used to focus primarily on short-term monthly planning, with a lack of mid to long-term forecasting. In addition to misalignments in the data source used by the different functions like sales, finance and supply chain, the process was completely manual and took a lot of time to put together. Having partnered with Westernacher Consulting, Amcor Speciality Cartons have been able to improve their planning capabilities, and can now do mid to long-term demand planning, increasing transparency at a global level.
