"OMP solved the right issues for our business case."
Filip Gheysens, RM&OP, S&OP and Demand Planning at ArcelorMittal
“Planners have seen that the proactive way of working is much more satisfactory.”
Michael Schickentanz, Head of Operations Planning & Master Data Management at VDM Metals
“Our people now see clearly why it’s essential to reserve capacity for sales that haven’t taken place yet, and how a constrained forecast can help reduce the risk of not being able to deliver on time. S&OP implementation meant our service level increased significantly.”
Stéphane Roux, Chief Information Officer at Eramet
“Our goal was to reach lower stocks while maintaining the same service level for our customers. We already see the first benefits. We need less change-overs, we produce less rush orders and have less stock ruptures.”
Heidi Behiels, Group Planning Manager at Betafence
“They convinced us to work with them because we felt that they understood our business.”
Erwin Bussi, Supply Chain Manager at Industeel
