Case Study: Fram cuts forecast error 25% and boosts fill rates with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

Fram Lowering Forecast Error with Solutions from John Galt

Fram’s Consumer Products Group (CPG), a $2 billion global business making automotive aftermarket brands like FRAM® filters and Autolite® spark plugs, needed more accurate SKU-level demand forecasts across eleven distribution centers because its J.D. Edwards ERP couldn’t meet their requirements. Fram selected John Galt Solutions’ forecasting tools — deploying the Demand Management Engine (part of the Atlas Planning Suite) — as an add-on to extend their ERP forecasting capabilities.

John Galt Solutions’ Demand Management Engine was implemented (and later extended to SAP when Fram migrated ERPs), delivering sustained improvements in forecast accuracy over four years: forecast error fell by 25% and line fill rates improved, while Fram’s planning team also benefited from John Galt Solutions’ recognized service and support.
