Sales growth during the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing issues with seasonality and Mercury Marine’s mode of unconstrained demand planning. This has led to bottlenecks on critical assets, lower-than-expected fill rates, and unnecessary operational costs during peak demand periods due to inventory levels.
The Tauber team aims to improve Mercury Marine’s supply and inventory management by providing solutions and corresponding implementation plans to streamline supplier sales and optimize operations planning.
