Case Study: Initiation Systems Division achieves logistics savings and better planning with Maine Pointe

Initiation Systems Division cuts logistics spend by 6% to 8% with Maine Pointe

The Initiation Systems division of a global commercial explosives supplier engaged Maine Pointe to improve visibility into its logistics, costs, and data. The customer needed to mitigate operational risks in Mexico, balance supply and demand across its plants, and gain critical insights for its sales, inventory, and operations planning (SIOP) process.

Maine Pointe implemented an SIOP tool and built an integrated analytics solution to provide executive decision support. This provided visibility into cost structures and logistics data, positioning the client to generate $2 million in logistics savings, equaling 6-8% of total spend. Maine Pointe’s solution also maximized capacity utilization and accelerated the company's digital maturity by years.
