Case Study: Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation achieves 20% increase in forecast accuracy with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

Milwaukee Electric Tool Observes 20% Increase in Forecast Accuracy

Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation, a leading manufacturer of professional-grade power tools, lacked a formal demand-planning process and was reacting to supply chain disruptions—longer lead times from overseas production forced them to hold inefficiently high inventory. They engaged John Galt Solutions and its Atlas Planning Suite to create an integrated demand and supply planning approach.

John Galt Solutions implemented Atlas Planning Suite to unite demand and supply functions in a single database, enabling more accurate mix forecasting and real-time linkage between demand changes and inventory policy. Within a year Milwaukee achieved a 20% increase in forecast accuracy, improved inventory turns and fill rate, and drove about 20% revenue growth from new products and promotions, with notable SKU mix and business-unit performance improvements.
