Case Study: Large Enterprise Aerospace & Defense Company achieves 76–90% faster supply chain response and improved on-time delivery with Kinaxis RapidResponse

Large Enterprise Aerospace & Defense Company - Customer Case Study

A Global 500 aerospace and defense company faced limited end-to-end supply chain visibility, slow and less effective business processes, and pressures on customer service across inventory, supply, demand planning and master production scheduling. These operational challenges prompted a search for a more agile planning solution.

The company selected Kinaxis RapidResponse over SAP supply chain modules and an in‑house option because of the solution’s flexibility, ease of doing business with Kinaxis, and prior positive experience. RapidResponse shortened planning cycles, delivered 76–90% faster response rates for key supply chain functions and materially improved on‑time delivery—providing faster data visibility than the company’s SAP BW implementation.
