Case Study: Konica Minolta enhances supply chain resilience with Kinaxis Maestro

Konica Minolta improves daily PSI planning across 150 countries with Kinaxis

Konica Minolta, a global high-tech company, faced growing supply chain complexity following a merger and the need for more dynamic planning. Their existing systems could not support the daily updates required for effective Sales and Operations Planning. To address this, they implemented the Kinaxis Maestro platform to enhance their supply chain orchestration.

The solution from Kinaxis provided rapid simulation capabilities and a single system for collaborative decision-making. This proved crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling quick response to major disruptions originating in China. The results included improved operational efficiency through daily PSI planning, which reduced errors in monthly and yearly figures, and enhanced overall supply chain responsiveness.
