Owen Corning, US-based manufacturer of insulation, roofing, and fiberglass composites, has deployed the Arkieva supply chain software by Solventure, supply chain software company .

Owens Corning's supply chain team has redesigned the sales and operations planning processes via implementation of the Arkieva supply chain software together with Solventure. This has dramatically improved the company's ability to use data effectively in decision-making.

Owens Corning Composites and Solventure started working together around demand planning. The first project was to optimize the statistical forecasting process as a baseline for the North-American Composites business. The success of the project led to the decision to go broader in scope and implement a collaborative demand planning process with the global sales team utilising the full functionality of the Arkieva Demand Planner.

To better support the global implementation, Arkieva was integrated with four different SAP instances linking history and forecast at all levels of aggregation and providing significant transparency.

Solventure has been a partner for the supply chain innovation process, providing guidance and support along the way. The Arkieva toolset has been widely accepted across the business with many related functional departments such as sales, planning, finance, marketing, and logistics. The users saw this as an opportunity to go for sales and operations planning excellence within the company, according to a press release.

Michael Morris, global supply chain process leader at Owens Corning Composites said, “Through the implementation of Arkieva, we've successfully reduced the sales and operations planning process from weeks to days, producing actionable statistical analysis enabling us to deliver more value to the company.” (GK)
