Improving
Time to Market at Palm
The Challenge
With ever-changing customer demands and increasing
competition, Palm had to face some challenging
goals. Palm wanted to further shorten planning
cycles, improve logistics and control, increase
visibility, and anticipate timing points for
market ramp up and ramp down.
The Solution
Palm worked with SAP and Bristlecone, Inc.
to improve their processes using the mySAP
Supply Chain Management (mySAP SCM) solution.
Processes targeted included joint inventory
planning with customers; establishing accurate
production plans for suppliers, and allocating
finished goods at the account level.
The Result
Palm reduced planning cycle time by 50%, leading
to improved quality and stability of the supply
chain plan. Supply chain collaboration was
significantly enhanced and stock-out occurrences
were reduced. Inventory turns improved from
15 to 26, and perpetual inventory was down
by over 50%. Cash-to-Cash cycle time decreased
from 23 to 14 days, and total days supply
in the chain fell by 25%.
