Lenovo Wuhan: Connecting the Supply Chain Through Smart Planning and Eliminating Material Shortages
To address the challenges of high-mix, demand-driven manufacturing, Lenovo implemented the HUIPAI APS solution over three phases. By building an integrated planning system from demand forecasting to production execution, the company aligned production and procurement plans, enabled capacity and material planning based on sales forecasts, and improved visibility through Gantt-chart scheduling. As a result, Lenovo increased production responsiveness while reducing inventory costs.
