Case Study: KNAPP AG achieves transparent, efficient supply chain planning with valantic's wayRTS

KNAPP AG cuts planning bottlenecks from 1200 to 200 with valantic

KNAPP AG, a technology provider of intelligent warehouse systems, faced challenges with its distributed and non-transparent planning processes. Manual synchronization between multiple systems led to long order throughput times, high inventories, and inefficient defective part management. To address this, KNAPP partnered with vendor valantic to implement the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system wayRTS.

valantic's solution centralized scheduling with wayRTS, providing cross-divisional transparency and enabling real-time scenario simulations for optimal capacity utilization. The results included significantly reduced order throughput times, increased on-time delivery, and a holistic view of the supply chain. This new transparency allowed KNAPP to manage a massive increase in supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 crisis with minimal impact on its customers.
