Case Study: MSA Safety improves inventory visibility and supply chain efficiency with LeanDNA

MSA Safety Leverages LeanDNA’s Inventory Optimization Command Center

MSA Safety, a global leader in safety equipment, faced significant supply chain challenges common to manufacturers, including difficulty forecasting for configurable products, lead time extensions, and limited visibility from their ERP system. To address these issues and build resilience, they partnered with LeanDNA to implement its inventory optimization command center.

The solution from LeanDNA provided a centralized platform that integrated with MSA's SAP system, offering real-time updates, streamlined collaboration, and prioritized actionable insights. This dramatically improved cross-functional visibility, reduced time spent on manual tasks and reports, and enhanced efficiency. The implementation allowed MSA Safety to proactively identify and mitigate shortage risks, improve supplier collaboration, and make more informed, data-driven decisions to optimize inventory and meet customer expectations.
