Case Study: Weston Foods achieves more efficient supply chain planning with Accelytics Anaplan solutions

Weston Foods cuts Anaplan model size by 50% with Accelytics

Weston Foods, a leading North American bakery producer, faced challenges with its existing Anaplan supply chain planning solution, which was sparse, difficult to use, and running out of space. The lack of rough-cut capacity planning and the need for manual forecasting manipulations resulted in low adoption rates among its planners. The company partnered with vendor Accelytics to optimize its material requirements planning models.

Accelytics implemented an efficient, user-friendly Anaplan solution that separated baseline and promotional forecasts and automated rough-cut capacity scheduling. This reduced the model size by more than 50%, saving time in the planning process and reducing raw material costs. The solution provided more accurate inventory and capacity requirements with less effort, leading to increased forecast accuracy and expected broader adoption of the tool across the supply organization.
