Case Study: Marvell Technology achieves a ~30-point boost in forecast accuracy and greater supply-chain agility with Blue Yonder

Marvell Semiconductor leverages Blue Yonder’s Manufacturing Planning solution to increase agility

Marvell Semiconductor, a $4 billion Silicon Valley company that designs storage, networking and multimedia chips, faced long semiconductor lead times (about 14 weeks) and volatile customer demand that made it difficult to have the right product in the right place while managing inventory and revenue targets.

Working with JDA, Marvell implemented JDA’s Manufacturing Planning solution (including Demand Manager and Supply Chain Planner) and JDA services to create a single view of demand and integrated supply planning. The change boosted forecast accuracy by roughly 30 percentage points (to about 45–50%), improved inventory visibility and responsiveness, enabled proactive exception management through dashboards, and increased overall supply chain speed and agility.
