"We needed to re-invent our supply chain, and of the solutions we evaluated, Kinaxis proved to be the company that could truly provide us with the speed and agility that we need. Additionally, we hope to increase collaboration internally and externally, shorten our decision-making time, and gain fresh insights to …

"Using RapidResponse®, we now have a consistent, succinct PSI process that provides more accurate results. With reliable demand and supply data consolidated in one place, we spend significantly less time on data gathering and more time on analysis and decision making—which is where the business value lies."

“The collaboration and willingness to co-innovate with Kinaxis were critical to our success.”

"Kinaxis is a long- term collaborative partner for Jabil. We use their solutions and algorithms extensively, so adding DOTS’ capabilities made sense.”

"We did not select Kinaxis and mSE Solutions solely for their supply chain technology and consulting expertise, we also value being able to partner with people who are collaborative, visionary, and put people first."

“We needed a solution to be able to plan effectively across multiple ERP systems without having to do a full-blown ERP implementation."

"Our Integrated Business Planning process would take half a year to pull off one cycle because of the complexity of all the things that had to be orchestrated. By the time you got six months in, the business environment had already changed. With Kinaxis, we now operate on a four-week …

“We got to the point where, particularly on the supply planning side, we felt that SAP IBP for demand planning met our needs [but] we were probably using 40% of its capabilities."

“Maestro gave us a tool that gave both sides confidence and belief in the data in the system, as opposed to just forcing decisions through.”

“We can give people all the data related to what’s going on with a given item, a range of parts or an entire customer. So, it makes it really clear exactly what’s happening in the supply chain."

“In the past, analysis took days or weeks to complete. By the time our decision-makers received the analysis, it was already outdated and in need of refreshing. We wanted a solution that would help us conduct ‘what-if’ scenarios to support decision making.”

“We assumed we would not be able to do any manufacturing at our Chinese bases and that shipping would also be impossible. Our response in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic required us to do simulations regarding how long this state would continue, what effect it would have on …

“We understood the structure of Maestro by then, so we were able to quickly visualize how to do simulations for things moving forward by changing certain numbers in certain ways. As we were able to accurately simulate business risks, we were able to rapidly investigate and implement the actions we …

“By using Maestro simulation functionality, we were able to show a PSI that was close to the actual state of material procurement and shipping delays that were caused by port congestion. And we were able to use this in estimating results and discussing countermeasures."

“Patient order cancellations due to out-of-stock supply have dropped to 20% of the pre-Kinaxis levels. This is the result of better planning and data sharing with our suppliers.”
