Case Study: Safran Seats GB achieves 36% inventory reduction in 3 months with LeanDNA

Safran Seats GB Reduces Excess Inventory 36 Percent in 3 Months

Safran Seats GB, a UK-based aerospace seating manufacturer using Baan ERP across three sites, faced fragmented, antiquated inventory processes that produced inaccurate data, slow deliveries (3–6 months late), and time‑consuming Excel-based reporting. To tackle this, Safran partnered with LeanDNA and adopted LeanDNA’s inventory optimization platform to gain visibility, prioritize actions, and find their “just‑right” inventory levels.

LeanDNA automated shortage-management workflows, surfaced high‑value action recommendations, enabled cross‑site collaboration, and flagged data anomalies, replacing manual spreadsheets and standardizing reorder policies. The result: a 36% reduction in inventory in three months, millions of pounds saved, improved inventory accuracy and on‑time delivery, and stronger governance and accountability across Safran Seats GB — all achieved with LeanDNA.
