Welcome to the OCTOBER Edition of DMS BizScoops!
In Summary
đ˘ Last Month in Review:
We are fortunate to partner with and support a wide range of companies, each facing unique challenges across various industries.
One such example is our collaboration with CR Powered by Epiroc, a company with over four decades of experience addressing the evolving challenges miners face today.
CR is known for its advanced technologies that boost productivity, enhance safety, and optimise maintenance efficiency. Their commitment to precise design and data-driven testing has positioned them as a leader in smarter mining operations. However, like many successful companies, CR faced supply chain challenges, prompting them to seek a solution that could centralise data, improve forecast accuracy, and streamline their processes.
To tackle these challenges, CR partnered with DMS and Logility to implement a transformative supply chain solution. The focus was on building a unified and agile system that integrates forecasts from both system-generated data and manual inputs, encouraging collaboration across departments. This modern approach empowered CR’s teams to make confident, data-driven decisions, ensuring smooth handovers between planners and maintaining operational continuity, even during staff absences.
Since adopting Logility, CR has seen significant improvements in key operational metrics. Forecast accuracy has increased, reducing bias and enabling more precise decision-making. The collaboration with DMS has also improved supplier relationships, resulting in 95% DIFOT (Delivery In Full On Time) and optimised inventory levels.
Moreover, the system has streamlined monthly meetings with sales teams, providing real-time data that enhances responsiveness to customer needs. As a result, CRâs supply chain is now more efficient, agile, and future-ready.
