How full visibility empowers P&G’s Supply Flow Analysts

With arguably one of the most complex supply chains in the world, The Procter & Gamble (P&G) Company has been facing the challenges of the consumer goods market. This has sparked a fundamental shift in P&G’s approach to supply chain planning, evolving them from the pursuit of excellence among individual sections to establishing end-to-end visibility over the entire supply chain. “We learned that full visibility is crucial to keeping our supply chain healthy and resilient,” says David Hamer, Supply Planning Program Director, based in Boston, MA.

Procter & Gamble is truly everywhere

P&G is organized into multiple business units, each managing a vast array of brands and dynamic portfolios of SKUs in demanding markets such as baby care, oral care, personal health care, shaving, and fabric care. Worldwide supply is fulfilled by a network of nearly 110 production facilities spread across the globe, which leads Director Supply Flow Planning Systems, Christian Labeck, to make the declaration: “Procter & Gamble is not just big, it’s truly everywhere.”
