Case Study: NORMA Group cuts forecasting from weeks to hours and speeds decisions with Kinaxis Maestro

How NORMA Group significantly reduced supply chain planning cycle time with Maestro

NORMA Group, a global leader in engineered joining and fluid‑handling technology with 8,000+ employees and operations across Europe, APAC and the Americas, needed to modernize its supply chain. With forecasting data scattered across systems and monthly manual planning cycles, the company set out to implement SIOP, enable concurrent planning and achieve end‑to‑end visibility — and wanted an out‑of‑the‑box solution that required minimal customization.

NORMA rolled out Maestro in phases (demand forecasting, supply planning pilots in APAC/EMEA/Americas, then full SIOP with finance), using the vendor‑provided platform to avoid lengthy development. The implementation cut forecasting from weeks to hours, enabled concurrent simulations for faster, better decisions, and improved customer response times and overall supply‑chain agility.
