Case Study: Carlisle Brake & Friction achieves improved forecast accuracy and a streamlined S&OP process with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

Carlisle Brake & Friction Builds a New S&OP Process with Atlas

Carlisle Brake & Friction, a global supplier of high‑performance brake, clutch and transmission solutions, faced the absence of a formal Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process and limited forecasting capabilities — one forecast line per item, no visibility to customer forecasts, untraceable changes, and inability to propagate top‑level changes down to items. Seeking a robust statistical forecasting and reporting tool to build a sound demand plan foundation, Carlisle selected John Galt Solutions and its Atlas Planning Suite to support a new S&OP process.

John Galt Solutions deployed the Atlas Planning Suite to provide a powerful statistical engine, flexible data warehouse and quick ERP integration, enabling Carlisle to forecast by customer and item, apply changes at any level, identify outliers, and manage by exception while integrating with existing MRP. Since implementation, Carlisle Brake & Friction reports increased on‑time delivery, fewer backorders, improved forecast accuracy and better inventory turns — measurable improvements driven by John Galt Solutions’ Atlas platform.
