Slashing Inventory at Whirlpool

Tags:
supply chain management

Overview During an extensive review of Whirlpool Corporation's best practices, company executives realized the appliance manufacturer was lacking in its demand management process. Whirlpool management formed a global team to look at demand management and possible software providers. Following a thorough review, executives eventually chose i2 Demand Planner, part of the i2 Supply Chain Management suite of solutions. Demand Planner provided Whirlpool with precisely the flexibility it needed in forecasting. The software's multidimensional database gave the company the ability to make forecasts at any level.
