Standardizing, planning and reducing the lead time

Matasma engaged with one of the UK’s leading Insurance Managing General Agent to standardize their planning and reduced the lead time from 3 Months to 2 Weeks.

Challenges

Global supply chain issues, such as semiconductor shortages, can impact production and delivery.
  • Different business units consolidated over a period of time with different transaction and planning systems.
  • Inconsistent approaches to planning across business lines and departments.
  • Planning processes took as long as three months.
  • Calculations and data resided in spreadsheets, databases, proprietary tools, pen and paper.
