From Data Chaos to Business Clarity

Henkel is a German multinational company that operates globally and offers numerous consumer brands. One of its challenges in the Middle East was managing inventory and sales data from various sources. To address this issue, Henkel’s branch in the region decided to implement a Business Intelligence (BI) solution with a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) module.

The project’s primary goal was to establish the necessary infrastructure for managing production operations and to analyze production responsiveness to monthly and annual plans. The BI solution also provided dashboards to predict future performance compared to the production plan, taking into account inventory status and the status of orders in progress. Furthermore, it guided the company on inventory status for materials with expiration dates, preventing potential waste or loss due to expired materials.

The implementation of the BI solution was a success, and Henkel Middle East achieved better control over production operations and optimized production responsiveness. The TCO module offered a better understanding of production costs, allowing the company to identify areas for cost reduction. Additionally, the dashboards provided real-time visibility into production performance and helped to take corrective action in case of any deviation from the production plan. Overall, the BI solution helped Henkel Middle East achieve its production objectives more efficiently.
