Becton Dickinson (BD) implemented Optiant’s system to obtain a holistic view of its end-to-end supply chain. Moving to a more formal process allowed BD to identify and effectively manage performance drivers such as supply lead time uncertainty and demand variability.
Additionally, implementing a more formal supply chain strategy for its low-volume SKUs has enabled the company to identify appropriate inventory levels and thus reduce overproduction and stock-outs.
Becton Dickinson’s overall success is directly impacted by our ability to continually streamline and improve the sales fulfillment process and delivery performance we provide our customers, said Ewald Parolari, director of supply chain at BD. With Optiant’s PowerChainSuite of solutions in place, we are poised to take our businesses to the next level by creating a supply chain that is both responsive and resilient to supply and demand variability.
