Novolex Supply Chain Transformation Case Study

This case study details the supply chain transformation of Novolex, a packaging company headquartered in Hartsville, South Carolina. The company faced challenges due to multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems across its business units, which complicated supply chain planning. With the need for data harmonization and agile scenario planning, Novolex sought a solution that could streamline its processes without a full ERP implementation. The company selected Kinaxis Planning OneTM for its capability to harmonize data across various planning areas. The initial rollout occurred within 12 weeks at eight facilities in the Duro® business unit, which required immediate improvements in supply planning. As a result of these efforts, Novolex achieved an 8% reduction in days-of-on-hand inventory, enhancing production efficiency and enabling the company to meet revenue targets. The case study illustrates how Novolex is positioning Kinaxis as its operational standard for future supply chain management.
