Case Study: PACCAR achieves smoother, more balanced global production with Blue Yonder

PACCAR Drives Advanced Production Scheduling Excellence Across Its Global Operations

PACCAR, a global automotive and heavy truck manufacturer, needed a more flexible way to manage complex customer orders, long lead times, supply disruptions, and increasing vehicle customization across its global operations. To improve operational agility and cost control, PACCAR turned to Blue Yonder’s flexis Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) solution.

Blue Yonder implemented flexis APS to ingest real-time demand and supply data, optimize scheduling, and automatically sequence orders based on plant constraints and production rules. The result was smoother, more balanced production, better labor and assembly line utilization, easier customization, and stronger responsiveness to disruptions across seven countries. PACCAR says the long-term collaboration has delivered continuous improvement and consistently helped it achieve production goals.
