挑战

管理 StarKist 的供应链变得越来越具有挑战性。需求计划功能使用一组电子表格运行其流程，而财务规划和分析团队使用另一组电子表格，两者都试图跟踪 100 个关键客户和 200 个产品 SKU 的库存和订单。财务预测电子表格需要数天时间才能完成，并且经常充满因处理新 SKU、停产 SKU 和客户分配而导致的错误。对 SKU 流量的重要分析（例如深入研究预测以确定交付差异）是无法实现的。供应链依赖 SAP ERP 进行生产计划，导致大量数据堆积在复杂的电子表格中，而这些数据变得难以维护。

关于客户

StarKist 是美国一家老牌食品公司，专注于提供健康、可持续、耐储存的海鲜和鸡肉产品。该公司与CJ Logistics合作，在美属萨摩亚、厄瓜多尔和塞内加尔拥有三个生产基地，并在美国拥有五个主要配送中心。 StarKist 是第一个推出单份袋装产品的品牌。

解决方案

StarKist 选择 Board 提供智能供应链规划解决方案，将供应规划和需求规划与财务无缝连接。该解决方案涉及用 Board 基于云的智能规划平台完全取代基于电子表格的规划系统。它还包括将供应链运营迁移到同一个董事会解决方案上，提供对与需求规划相同的数据的访问，以实现跨两个职能的单点事实。 Board 的专业服务团队仅用了六个月就交付了初始解决方案。

运营影响

The implementation of the Board Intelligent Planning Platform has brought about significant operational improvements for StarKist. The company can now plan for and respond to disruptions faster, thanks to the reduced planning time. The move from Excel spreadsheets to a shared Board solution has increased transparency and collaboration by streamlining data flows and creating a single, consolidated view of StarKist’s data. The automation of aggregations and forecasting processes in a secure, cloud-based platform has boosted the efficiency and security of operations. The solution also integrates seamlessly with the broader supply chain planning process. Furthermore, the consistent forecast accuracy reports enable project variables to be used to effectively define benchmarks and goals. The flexibility and scalability of Board, combined with its no-code nature, has empowered StarKist’s internal stakeholders to become experts in utilizing data and customize the reports and dashboards to suit evolving requirements.
