Case Study: McBride achieves stronger S&OP and capacity planning, balancing service, stock & cost with Arkieva

McBride selects Solventure to strengthen their S&OP and capacity planning process

McBride, a leading European private‑label household and personal care products manufacturer with 18 sites, needed a group‑wide S&OP and rough‑cut capacity planning process to optimize asset utilization and balance demand and supply across multiple sites and two SAP platforms. To meet this challenge, McBride selected Arkieva (with channel partner Solventure) and the Arkieva supply chain software suite, including the Arkieva Rough Cut Capacity (RCCP) tooling.

Arkieva implemented a fully integrated RCCP solution that replaced Excel‑based planning, automated data transformation, and standardized the S&OP process across sites. The Arkieva tooling cut time spent on number crunching, enabled an 18‑month capacity plan that exposes risks and opportunities, lets the team recommend investments earlier, and delivered a better balance between service, stock and cost.
