Overview:

Ensuring appropriate inventory is one of the key business goals for any manufacturer, making effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) a priority. Failure to control inventory can have a huge influence on the whole business, including lost sales opportunities caused by short stock and unnecessary costs incurred by excess inventory. The Kirin spirits and wine business markets approximately 700 product items, including domestic and imported beer, whisky, liqueur, shouchu, and wine. They were determined to carry out a radical renewal of the supply/demand planning system to cope with such inventory issues. The Spirits and Wine SCM System project, which began in April 2003, was based on SAS Supply Chain Intelligence, and brought about dramatic improvements in accuracy of demand forecast and automation of complicated procurement processes.
