Case Study: YPÊ (Química Amparo) achieves rapid ROI and 13% forecast accuracy improvement with Infor Supply Chain Planning

Química Amparo selects Infor Sales & Operations Planning to help boost market position

YPÊ (Química Amparo) is a leading Brazilian maker of hygiene and cleaning products (about 4,000 employees, six plants, 12.5% market share) that struggled with Excel-based sales & operations planning. The company needed more accurate demand forecasts, better synchronization of production and inventory, longer planning horizons and lower costs to improve on-time delivery, reduce fines and missed sales, and support growth.

YPÊ implemented the full Infor Supply Chain Planning suite (Demand Planning, Sales & Operations Planning, Advanced Planning and Scheduling), centralizing S&OP data and extending planning from one month to a year. Within a year the company saw a 13% increase in forecast accuracy, a 10% lift in customer service levels, a 5% productivity gain, elimination of costly overtime shifts, lower freight/labor/fine expenses, a 9‑day reduction in days sales of inventory, and a rapid positive ROI.
