Case Study: Cambro (food storage manufacturer) boosts inventory efficiency and cuts stock-outs with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

Cambro Manufacturing Increases Inventory Efficiency with John Galt Solutions

Cambro, a long-established manufacturer of food storage and handling containers, faced an inflexible forecasting process: their MRP used a single quarterly forecast split evenly into weeks, forcing heavy manual adjustments, frequent stock-outs from large orders, overtime in the forecasting team, and outsourced forecasting work. Cambro selected the Demand Management Engine module of John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite from John Galt Solutions to better model demand variability and provide exception-based, visual planning.

John Galt Solutions implemented the Demand Management Engine to optimize forecasting and production schedules, which delivered measurable gains: inventory improved by one turn (about $100,000 in annual carrying cost savings), key item stock-outs fell 42%, forecasting overtime dropped 57% (approximately $230,000 annual payroll savings), outsourced forecasting was brought back in-house, and Cambro achieved a 10% increase in sales.
