Bunzl Catering Supplies	Distribution	16000	$15.2B	United Kingdom	RELEX Solutions	RELEX Supply Chain	Supply Chain Management	2024	n/a	In 2024, Bunzl Catering Supplies implemented RELEX Supply Chain within a Supply Chain Management program to optimize inventory distribution, improve customer availability and reduce overstock and understock risk. Bunzl Catering Supplies is a leading UK distributor to the hospitality market, leveraging global purchasing scale and its Bunzl Exclusive Brands and Sustainable Future programme, and the deployment targeted cross-functional planning across its distribution footprint and supply chain organization. The implementation focused on RELEX Supply Chain forecasting and replenishment capabilities, using AI and machine learning to generate longer horizon forecasts that capture seasonality and demand factors relevant to hospitality peaks. RELEX Supply Chain was configured for automated replenishment and exception-based management, which reduced manual workload by automating routine tasks and highlighting planner exceptions for rapid intervention. Operationally the project centralized the consolidated forecast and supply plans to give a holistic view of stock positions across the business and distribution centres, enabling planners and supply chain management to review KPIs from a single source of truth. The deployment emphasized demand planning, inventory optimization and replenishment workflows, with configurable alerts and exception management to surface deviations for planner action. Governance was shifted to a centralized supply chain function that owns the consolidated forecasting and supply planning process, enabling ongoing review of key performance indicators and continuous improvements to planning cadence and workflows. Explicit outcomes reported include significantly improved product availability, a corresponding reduction in inventory value and lower manual workloads, along with more precise forecasts and optimized inventory across Bunzl Catering Supplies.
CeramTec	Manufacturing	3680	$685M	Germany	SAP	SAP R/3 - Materials Management (MM)	Inventory Management	2010	n/a	In 2010, CeramTec implemented SAP R/3 - Materials Management (MM) as its Inventory Management application. The rollout targeted the Finance and Controlling organization in the Plochingen area and aimed to provide centralized inventory valuation controls for manufacturing operations. SAP R/3 - Materials Management (MM) was configured to manage valuation relevant subsystems and to exploit inventory tools, with functional configuration focused on material master management, stock valuation and movement types typical of Inventory Management systems. The implementation supported monthly and annual closing routines, inventory counting and valuation postings, and established the stock controller role as a business partner to specialist departments. Role design emphasized structured authorization and MS Office based reporting workflows for inventory reconciliation and closing support. Integrations linked MM with SAP FI and SAP CO modules to coordinate profit center accounting with P&L postings in financial accounting, ensuring inventory valuations flowed into internal accounting and reporting. Governance and process responsibilities were formalized so the stock controller coordinated inventory preparation and execution with auditors and acted as the interface between external and internal accounting. Operational coverage concentrated on Finance/Controlling and warehouse related business functions at the Plochingen site, with team-level procedures to standardize inventory management activities.
