Case Study: Post Foods achieves 12% finished goods inventory reduction and improved forecast accuracy with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

Post Foods Improves Inventory Efficiency with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

Post Foods faced a manual, spreadsheet-driven forecasting process that produced high-level, national monthly forecasts based on sales input, causing short-term volatility, slow ERP entry, delayed supply planning, and inflated inventory to protect service levels. To address this, Post Foods selected the Atlas Planning Suite from John Galt Solutions to enable item- and location-level statistical forecasting and a centralized data warehouse.

John Galt Solutions implemented Atlas Planning Suite with customizable workspaces and a Calculation Manager to incorporate Post Foods’ business logic, speeding the project and lowering cost. Within months Post Foods cut finished goods inventory by 12% while maintaining customer service, improved forecast accuracy to plan materials further out (enabling hedging and cost savings), reduced production schedule changes, and eliminated forecast-entry delays.
