Case Study: Daikin improves inventory visibility and efficiency with LeanDNA

Turning Visibility into Business Value at Daikin

Daikin partnered with LeanDNA to tackle a common supply chain challenge: limited visibility into inventory performance, unclear prioritization, and too much manual effort spent filtering exception data. Before implementation, the team relied on spreadsheets and early ERP work, but needed a more actionable, long-term way to support materials planning and operational excellence.

Using APEX by LeanDNA, Daikin standardized and streamlined procurement workflows, helping buyers focus on the highest-impact actions first. The results included more than a 10% reduction in inventory, improved on-time PO placement, and better production line performance. LeanDNA also helped Daikin shift its focus toward broader business outcomes like working capital, throughput, and on-time delivery.
