"To be honest, we started our journey with MPM and integrated planning so long ago that it's hard for me to find the initial data for summaries. From my perspective, the most important outcome was the organization of the company according to APICS standards. And what may surprise many: our greatest success, largely thanks to you, was the implementation of SAP. It was the beginning of 2018. Everyone on the team had already completed the first training module - SCM, which allowed SAP to closely mirror the roles of participants and the planning hierarchy. I remember the emotions everyone felt. As a result, when we fired up SAP at 6:00 in the morning... we started working normally. Without even a 1% loss, delay, or setback. Even the SAP consultants were surprised - they had never encountered such a case before.

Among the lasting skills from the training sessions with you, I definitely value the accurate and early anticipation of necessary investments for the next 12-18 months - we assess all development directions accurately, with a margin of plus or minus 5 months. We rely on the assumptions of Resource Planning (RP) and Rough-Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP), adjusting forecasts based on their errors in real-time.

Stock accuracy has also improved significantly. Excess inventory? It's good that this excess is exactly what we need. In the area of high runners, we worked for weeks with a 1.3-day inventory. All based on analyses according to the standards learned in MPM.

Is it possible? Yes, it is."
