Case Study: Modine boosts CTB and reduces shortages with LeanDNA

Christopher Barker Boosts Modine’s CTB from 40% to 95%

Modine, a leader in thermal management solutions, faced significant supply chain challenges due to fragmented data and manual reporting processes. Their Global Director of Material, Planning & Logistics, Christopher Barker, and his team struggled with a lack of centralized visibility, making it difficult to prioritize tasks, forecast inventory, and proactively solve problems. This reactive state resulted in a low Clear to Build (CTB) rate. To address this, they turned to the vendor LeanDNA for its supply chain analytics and execution platform.

By implementing LeanDNA's solution, Modine gained the real-time visibility and centralized analytics needed to shift to proactive planning. The results were substantial: CTB skyrocketed from 40% to over 90%, shortages were reduced by four times in a four-week period, and some plants saw a 50% reduction in inventory. These improvements led to fewer production disruptions, increased inventory turns, and freed up working capital. LeanDNA provided the tools that enabled standardized work and data-driven decision-making across the organization.
