Case Study: MAS Active achieves 98% on-time delivery and dramatically faster planning with Coats Digital (Evolve)

MAS Active Raises Performance Supported by Fast React Planning

MAS Active, the Sri Lanka–based sports and leisurewear division of MAS Holdings that supplies brands such as Nike, Columbia and Ralph Lauren, faced growing style complexity, much shorter lead times (as low as three weeks) and a need for greater flexibility while improving on-time delivery (OTDP was ~80%). The business needed a planning solution that could scale and adapt to faster programmes and tighter schedules.

MAS implemented Fast React’s Evolve planning solution with a two-way SAP interface, enabling division-wide capacity management and style/colour-level planning with full material visibility. The change cut planning time for a full buy from two weeks to about one day, reduced raw materials and finished goods inventory by roughly 4 and 5 days respectively, raised factory productivity and planned-vs-actual performance, and increased OTDP from ~80% to over 98% — all while significantly shortening lead times and without adding planning headcount.
