Business challenge

An operation running at scale without the systems to match it.

The organization ran multiple sites with continuous inventory movement — a volume and complexity that had outgrown its manual processes.

  • On-time delivery had fallen below 80%.
  • MRP suggested constant expediting; planners had stopped trusting it.
  • Shop floor was running on whiteboards instead of Sage X3.
  • Inventory levels were rising despite stockouts on critical components.
Solution

A warehouse execution platform built end-to-end in Sage X3.

Master data clean room

Sat with engineering and planning to clean BOMs, routings, and lead times for the top 20% of items driving 80% of revenue.

Planning policy redesign

Replaced flat reorder-point logic with ABC-based planning policies and demand-variability-driven safety stock.

Shop floor adoption

Redesigned shop floor screens for the way operators actually work. Eliminated the whiteboards through better daily release procedures.

Planning KPI dashboard

Daily and weekly planning KPIs visible to planners, supervisors, and the COO.
