Case Study: Doosan Electro-Materials reduces inventory and saves $20 million with Blue Yonder

Doosan - Customer Case Study

Doosan Electro-Materials, a Korea-based manufacturer of copper clad laminate, was facing high inventory costs and complex supply chain issues that inhibited cash flow. The company struggled with an inability to create long-term demand forecasts, which limited its planning horizon to just four weeks. To address this, they sought a solution from supply chain vendor Blue Yonder (then known as JDA Software).

By implementing Blue Yonder's Sales & Operations Planning and Supply Chain Planner solutions, Doosan gained the ability to model its entire supply chain and manage demand effectively. The measurable results were significant, including a 58% reduction in raw material inventory, a 40% reduction in global inventory, and total savings of $20 million. The company also improved its finished goods fulfillment rate to 98% and achieved visibility of demand seven months in advance.
