Case Study: Safran Morpho achieves 20%+ reduction in global stock levels and 15% fewer new parts purchases with Baxter Planning

Safran Morpho - Customer Case Study

Morpho Detection, part of Safran, supplies mission‑critical explosives, narcotics and CBRNE screening solutions and supports a global service network with nearly 3,000 active replacement parts across 100+ stocking locations. After five years using Prophet by Baxter to plan that inventory, Morpho faced two challenges: Prophet’s configuration no longer matched its updated supply‑chain goals, and newly hired planners needed stronger training to use the system effectively. Morpho engaged Baxter for a three‑month consulting project to evaluate and recommend improvements.

Baxter’s experts analyzed Morpho’s operations and recommended enhancements — including advanced replenishment and seasonal forecasting, installed‑base forecasting, repair scrap‑rate calculations, automated planning processes and tighter IT integrations — many of which Morpho implemented immediately. Early results include an expected reduction in new parts purchases of more than 15% in the next 12 months and a decrease in global stock levels of over 20%, with additional profitability and efficiency gains anticipated as remaining recommendations are rolled out.
