Case Study: E‑ONE achieves 39% shortage reduction in 7 months with LeanDNA

How E-One’s Aligned Leadership Team Inspires Camaraderie and Drives Results

E-ONE, a REV Group business unit, faced persistent inventory challenges—time-consuming manual data mining, limited visibility, and recurring material shortages that threatened on-time delivery. To address this, supply chain leaders Susanne McCalla and Richard Knutz implemented LeanDNA’s inventory optimization platform to centralize data and align their buying organization.

LeanDNA automated manual processes, provided real-time visibility and analytics, and kept the team aligned on priority actions, enabling faster, data-driven decisions. As a result, E-ONE achieved a 39% reduction in material shortages in seven months, freed buyers’ time to optimize safety stocks and supplier strategies, improved on-time delivery, and reduced expedite and penalty costs while building greater accountability across the organization.
