Case Study: SanDisk achieves 10%+ improvement in safety-stock and on-time delivery and greater supply chain flexibility with Blue Yonder

SanDisk improves safety-stock inventory and on-time delivery metrics by more than 10 percent and increases its supply chain flexibility using Blue Yonder solutions

SanDisk, a global leader in flash memory storage, outgrew its spreadsheet-based planning as it expanded into OEM and retail channels. The company needed a scalable, integrated planning platform to maintain profitable growth, maximize margins, and improve customer service while responding quickly to volatile demand.

SanDisk implemented JDA’s advanced planning suite and consulting services to create a daily, end-to-end supply chain plan, adopt postponement and segmentation strategies, and enable rapid replanning. The result: safety-stock and on-time delivery metrics improved by more than 10%, the company consistently delivers above 95% to the original promise date, shortened its frozen production plan from weeks to days, increased inventory turns, scaled to ship nearly two million units per day, and earned top supplier awards.
