Case Study: Kemps achieves over 20% forecast accuracy improvement with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

Kemps Commands Promotional Demand with >20% Forecast Accuracy Improvement

Kemps, a long-standing Midwest dairy manufacturer, faced capacity constraints and inventory problems as rapid ice cream growth and promotion-driven demand outpaced planning. Without a formal demand planning process, Kemps experienced declining service levels and heavy overtime, so they selected John Galt Solutions’ Atlas Planning Suite to support a collaborative demand planning approach.

Using John Galt Solutions’ Atlas (including Event Manager and product lifecycle capabilities), Kemps centralized its promotional planning under a single planner and regained control of promotional demand. The implementation drove a >20% improvement in forecast accuracy, raised fill rate from 97.7% to 98.3%, reduced plant and planner overtime, and enabled further inventory-reduction and capacity-planning initiatives.
