Infosys has announced a collaboration with mobility specialist ZF to revamp its multi-echelon supply chain with SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) and Infosys Cobalt.
Infosys has engaged with the aftermarket division of ZF to implement SAP IBP for demand planning and inventory optimisation.
Infosys said in a release that it was chosen to assist ZF on this transformation journey for its proven expertise in SAP IBP implementation and a plethora of in-house tools and accelerators backed by efficient teams.
Rainer Scheuring, Vice President, IT AC Market and Materials Management, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, said, “Based on the holistic IBP planning approach and the guidance of our implementation partner Infosys, we built the foundation for improved availabilities and reduced inventories within our multi-echelon supply chain.”
Infosys leveraged its hybrid agile implementation methodology to replace multiple legacy demand planning tools at ZF Aftermarket with a unified, global SAP platform. Infosys also helped facilitate complex operations planning with complete automation of safety stock by facilitating a two-way flow of business-critical data between the new platform and external systems.
Jasmeet Singh, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Manufacturing, Infosys, said the ability to forecast demand and optimise inventory is a key competitive advantage in today’s era of increased macroeconomic and geopolitical complexities.
“Our extended collaboration will continue to accelerate this leading automotive supplier’s ambitious digital transformation strategies and equip them with the agility and flexibility they need to deliver world-class products to their clients,” he said.
Infosys said the implementation has helped bring about advanced demand forecasting, collaborative planning, improved responsiveness and efficiency, transparency, and interactive user experience across ZF Aftermarket’s supply chain.
