Case Study: Thibiant International achieves greater scheduling accuracy and reduced workload with Demand Solutions APS

Thibiant International Stays on Schedule

Thibiant International, a contract manufacturer and leader in personal care product development since 1976, faced growing complexity in balancing customer demand with capacity planning at its Chatsworth, CA plant. After evaluating multiple options, Thibiant selected Demand Solutions and implemented Demand Solutions APS in 2009 to replace spreadsheet-driven scheduling and gain an integrated demand planning solution.

Demand Solutions consultants integrated Demand Solutions APS with Thibiant’s ERP (two weeks onsite), enabling overnight batch exchanges and on-demand daytime updates, multi-user access, and multi-phase batch scheduling that links compounding and filling work orders and schedules support equipment. The result: scheduling time dropped dramatically, real-time updates are available within minutes, one person can now keep the schedule accurate instead of a team of three to five, and on-time delivery and customer satisfaction have measurably improved.
