Case Study: American Automaker achieves supply chain resilience with e2open

American Automaker cuts idle vehicles by 95% with e2open

An iconic American automaker faced severe supply chain disruptions, with 95% of its finished vehicles sitting idle due to missing components. The company struggled with inaccurate forecasting, limited visibility, and an over-reliance on single-source suppliers, which led to production stoppages and higher costs. To address this, they partnered with e2open for a new approach to supplier collaboration.

e2open implemented its Supply Forecast Collaboration and Supply Inventory Collaboration applications to create transparency and accountability across the supply network. This solution provided the automaker with visibility into supplier inventories and enabled round-the-clock collaboration. The results eliminated manual guesswork, allowed for proactive planning, and significantly increased supply chain resilience and flexibility.
