Case Study: MDC Vacuum Products achieves 26% inventory reduction while maintaining 95%+ service level with Baxter Planning

MDC Vacuum Products - Customer Case Study

MDC Vacuum Products, a global leader in vacuum, insulator seal, and gas delivery solutions since 1975, needed to maintain very high service levels for catalog components while optimizing inventory and supply planning. An analysis identified opportunities to improve service parts forecasting and ordering without compromising responsiveness to urgent customer needs.

By implementing Baxter’s Prophet software alongside its Planning as a Service offering, MDC automated forecasting and supply ordering (using features like Auto‑Select forecasting, Push/Pull/Cancel, and supplier performance reporting) and gained ongoing monthly planning support. In the 18 months after going live, MDC reduced inventory by 26% while maintaining a 95%+ service level.
