OMP’s AI-driven Unison Planning™ platform enhances supply chain agility for McCormick & Co.

McCormick boosts supply chain agility with OMP’s AI-driven Unison Planning™ platform

OMP is helping McCormick & Co., the global leader in flavor, with an AI-driven and autonomous operational planning initiative. This partnership enables McCormick to manage both assembly-to-order (ATO) and make-to-stock (MTS) production within the Unison Planning™ platform.

The initiative tackles key challenges, including balancing ATO and MTS production on shared lines, improving inventory projections through quality-based stock releases, and managing capacity amid fluctuating demand. Addressing these challenges requires close collaboration across regions with North American and EMEA teams working in parallel, and seamless integration of SAP with the operational planning functionality within Unison Planning™. The first implementations will roll out in Canada and the United States before expanding to the EMEA and APAC regions.

OMP’s AI-driven Unison Planning™ platform enhances supply chain agility for McCormickThrough its partnership with OMP, McCormick is implementing autonomous, decision-centric planning powered by agentic AI to transform how production and inventory are managed. The solution enables McCormick teams to plan more effectively for both custom and standard products, rapidly adjust to shifts in demand or supply, and make smarter sourcing decisions.

The result is a more responsive supply chain that delivers optimized cost and cash by improving alignment between market demand and production timelines, as well as supporting lower cost of goods through waste reduction. These enhancements are also expected to indirectly result in higher service levels and improved top-line growth.

“We’re really excited about this technology as part of our roadmap of digital transformation,” says Whitney Shlesinger, VP of Global Planning and Logistics. “We’re embracing AI to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen our supply chain against volatility.”

“McCormick is showing how autonomous planning, planner empowerment, and leadership alignment can strengthen resilience,” said Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial & Markets Officer at OMP. “Together, we are embedding AI in a way that supports agility, collaboration, and innovation across their supply chain.”
