Supply Chain Optimization - SAP

Overview

Manufacturing companies rely on optimized supply chain management to ensure timely delivery, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction. SAP was chosen to enhance supply chain operations, improve demand forecasting, and provide a scalable platform for data-driven insights.

Challenge
