Case Study: Allergan achieves streamlined global supply-chain operations and $7M in savings with Infor Demand Planning and Infor Advanced Scheduling

Allergan streamlines its operations with Infor Demand Planning and Infor Advanced Scheduling

Allergan, a $23 billion global “growth pharma” company, faced operational strain after multiple mergers left it running dozens of disconnected systems—53 ERP versions in different regions—and many sites relying on spreadsheets and reactive processes. This fragmentation hurt planning, inventory control, and on-time delivery, creating a need for modern, integrated demand planning and scheduling tools.

Allergan implemented Infor Demand Planning and Infor Advanced Scheduling with Infor Consulting Services to unify systems, provide real-time demand visibility, and enable proactive inventory and production decisions. The rollout improved global data integration across 100+ countries, cut penalties for failure to supply by 10%, reduced working capital by 22%, and lowered backorders—saving $7 million in two years—while improving decision-making and easing the move away from legacy spreadsheets.
