Case Study: Honeywell cuts forecast error 25% and boosts line fill rates with John Galt Solutions' Demand Management Engine

Lowering Forecast Error with Solutions from John Galt

Honeywell’s Consumer Products Group (CPG), a $2 billion business with brands like Autolite, FRAM and Prestone, needed to forecast SKU-level consumer demand across eleven distribution locations and thousands of retail outlets. Their existing ERP (J.D. Edwards) lacked the advanced forecasting capabilities required, so Honeywell selected John Galt Solutions’ Demand Management Engine as an add-on to meet its more sophisticated demand-planning needs.

John Galt Solutions deployed the Demand Management Engine (later extended to Honeywell’s SAP system), delivering measurable improvements: forecast error fell by 25% and line fill rates increased, with consistent gains over the past four years. Honeywell also praised John Galt Solutions’ responsive support, and plans to expand the solution to international sales and original equipment forecasting.
