Case Study: GE Power achieves 97% service levels and 25% lower inventory investment with GAINSystems

Boosting service, uptime and revenue while reducing costs with GAINS

GE Power, a global leader in gas power technology, services, and solutions, needed to manage a rapidly growing MRO inventory after acquiring Alstom. With more than 70,000 parts to keep available across 130 countries, the company faced the challenge of ensuring immediate dispatch for field technicians while reducing stockouts, duplicate inventory, and the risk of costly outages. GE Power turned to GAINSystems and its supply chain performance optimization platform to support this complex planning environment.

GAINSystems implemented continuous planning, real-time simulation, and profit-optimized inventory policies to improve supply and demand sensing and align inventory with service needs. The results were strong: GE Power achieved 97%+ customer service levels, reduced inventory investment by 25%, lowered carrying and operating costs by 23%, and cut expediting expense to near zero.
