Supply chain challenges
For two decades, AmorePacific layered new MRP/ERP tools onto weekly product planning and demand planning. Despite daily MRP runs, core issues persisted:
Unreliable long-term forecasts
Accuracy was <10%, so purchasing treated forecasts only as rough reference.
Unreliable long-term forecasts
Accuracy was <10%, so purchasing treated forecasts only as rough reference.
Workarounds and expediting
Teams tried to shorten lead times manually because short-term signals were more dependable.
The solution: Demand-Driven Buffers And Dynamic Control With Intuiflow
AmorePacific implemented Intuiflow using DDMRP principles to replace forecast-driven nervousness with flow-based priorities.
Decouple Upstream Supply
Strategic buffers were established at raw-material warehouses to protect finished-goods lead times.
Standardize Buffer Profiles Across The Plant
Planners configured buffer profiles for ~1,500 raw-material items, including long-lead packing materials—creating a consistent, visual way to set priorities and trigger replenishment from actual demand.
Adapt To Calendar Risk With Dynamic Buffer Management
Intuiflow’s dynamic adjustments extended effective lead times for items sourced from China ahead of Chinese New Year, sharply reducing shortages and stockouts during the holiday window.
The Results: Higher Service, Lower Inventory, Smoother Execution
Future-Proof Your Supply Chain With Intuiflow
AmorePacific’s transformation shows how Intuiflow helps complex manufacturers simplify planning, cut inventory, and sustain growth through real-time visibility and adaptive control.
