Case Study: MilliporeSigma achieves increased fill rates and optimized inventory with Logility

MilliporeSigma discovers the cure for successful replenishment planning

MilliporeSigma, a global life sciences company supplying biochemical and chemical products to industry, academia and healthcare, faced complex forecasting and replenishment challenges across a huge portfolio — roughly 100,000 chemicals (about 300,000 SKUs) stocked at 20 sites and seven million forecasted items for 80,000 customers. The company needed better global visibility and a centrally controlled replenishment plan to raise forecast accuracy, improve fill rates and support roughly 100 planners worldwide.

By deploying Logility for daily, centralized replenishment (running over eight million items overnight) MilliporeSigma gained rapid, flexible forecasting at regional and customer levels, plus simulation and cost-analysis tools to set service targets. The result: higher forecast accuracy, increased fill rates and customer service levels, reduced inventory through alternate sourcing and excess-stock utilization, shorter cash-to-cash cycles and faster order cycle times, especially in Asia.
