CPI

GRA worked with CPI with the following outcomes: service level improvement from 62% to a consistent 96%, $14 million inventory reduction (or 31%), centralised purchasing process, creation of an exception-based planning process, and S&OP implementation. CPI began using GAINS to manage by exception, automate the creation of purchasing schedules for overseas suppliers, and re-balance inventories across Australia and New Zealand based on service level and cost optimisation.
