Case Study: Safran Seats GB achieves standardized inventory optimization across sites and frees up IT resources with LeanDNA

Safran Seats GB S cross Sites, Frees Up IT Resources With LeanDNA

Safran Seats GB, an aerospace seating manufacturer with three UK sites running Baan ERP, was struggling with ballooning on-hand inventory, inconsistent Excel- and Crystal Reports–based analysis, and no single source of truth for daily inventory decisions. To address these gaps the company engaged LeanDNA and deployed the LeanDNA Inventory Analytics platform to centralize Baan data and provide targeted, actionable inventory recommendations.

LeanDNA connected to Safran Seats GB’s ERP and was up and running in four weeks, delivering automated shortage reports, task-based collaboration, and root-cause visibility that uncovered data-quality issues and stale work orders. The rollout freed IT from ad hoc Crystal Report requests, created a single source of truth for inventory and PPV metrics, and improved cross-team collaboration; Safran expects significant reductions in manufactured and purchased inventory and tighter demand aging (no demand older than three months) as a result.
