Case Study: Jamestown Container Companies triples operating profit and cuts lead times with Intuiflow from Demand Driven Technologies

Jamestown Container Companies triples operating profit and cuts lead times 70% with Demand Driven Technologies

Jamestown Container Companies, a provider of corrugated packaging solutions, faced the challenge of competing in an industry with razor-thin margins and high fixed costs. They needed to simultaneously achieve shorter lead times, higher customer service levels, and better working capital utilization, which their traditional MRP system could not support. They turned to Demand Driven Technologies and implemented its Intuiflow platform, which utilizes Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) concepts.

By adopting Intuiflow's demand-driven flow model, Jamestown shifted from forecast-driven production to planning based on real-time demand signals. The solution from Demand Driven Technologies delivered dramatic results, including a 70% reduction in lead times, a 60% cut in inventory levels, and a 300% increase in operating profit, all while achieving near-perfect customer service levels.
