Case Study: American Automotive Manufacturing Company improves supply agility and collaboration with Kinaxis Maestro

American Automotive Manufacturing Company unifies 20,000–30,000 new parts a year with Kinaxis

The American Automotive Manufacturing Company, a major global automotive manufacturer, faced significant challenges due to its reliance on disconnected legacy systems and spreadsheets for supply chain planning. This approach created silos, hindered collaboration, and made it difficult to service its vast network of dealers and customers efficiently. To transition from reactive to demand-driven planning, the company sought a modern solution and selected the Maestro platform from vendor Kinaxis.

Kinaxis implemented its Maestro solution to consolidate sales and operations planning, inventory management, and distribution requirements planning on a single platform. This provided the company with supply agility, improved collaboration across stakeholders, and enabled data-driven decision making with robust scenario planning. As a result, the American Automotive Manufacturing Company achieved its key objective of building a more resilient and responsive supply chain to enhance customer satisfaction.
