"We cut our stock by
half and increased our
service level - it was
our most profitable
investment this year"




"Now we have full
control in real-time over
both orders and bottle-
necks as well as service
levels"

"When we started the project the goal was to reduce inventory and shorten leadtimes as well as increase service levels. Today we can say that the entire investment has paid off in less than a year, our own time included.

We have already lowered our stock by 4-5 coverdays, which corresponds to a 50% reduction, and still the service level has increased. We have created a network, where we and our suppliers collaborate to achieve a common goal: a fast and controlled flow of products that largely decreases the need for stockkeeping."

Lena Palm, responsible for Volvo Powertrains succesful PipeChain-project.

"Now we have full control in real-time over both orders and bottle-necks as well as service levels. We can in a simple way identify our daily problems and thus make sure that we work with the right tasks.

Despite large variations in delivery volumes we can keep an even production pace and we can give immediate answers about our capacity to deliver. PipeChain is a system that supports us in our process improvements and is very versatile."

Johan Elmquist, project manager for PipeChain implementation at Ericsson, Borås.
