Executive Summary

A leading biotechnology company required improved visibility into pack and fill planning information to support coordination between internal manufacturing teams and external Contract Manufacturing Organizations. Existing processes made it difficult to communicate production requirements, inventory positions, work orders, and material availability needed to support effective manufacturing execution. 

DiLytics implemented a Pack & Fill Planning Analytics solution leveraging Oracle Analytics, Oracle EBS, and Oracle ASCP. The solution delivered centralized visibility into projected demand, work orders, planned orders, inventory positions, safety stock levels, months-on-hand metrics, and material allocations through standardized reporting and planning dashboards. 

The implementation improved production coordination, strengthened inventory visibility, enhanced manufacturing readiness, reduced planning deviations, and enabled more efficient management of pack and fill operations across internal and external stakeholders.

A leading biotechnology company needed better visibility into demand forecasts, inventory positions, production schedules, and material availability to improve coordination between internal teams and Contract Manufacturing Organizations.  DiLytics implemented a Pack & Fill Planning Analytics solution that centralized planning and manufacturing data, enabling better production planning, inventory management, and manufacturing readiness through a unified analytics platform.

Client Overview

The client is a global biopharmaceutical organization specializing in innovative therapies for rare genetic diseases, with a strong focus on research, development, and commercialization. The company operates across multiple international markets and is supported by a large, specialized workforce driving end-to-end healthcare innovation.

Limited Visibility into Planning and Manufacturing Readiness

The organization lacked a centralized way to communicate critical pack and fill planning information across internal manufacturing teams and external CMOs. Limited visibility into projected demand, inventory positions, work orders, and material availability made it difficult to coordinate production schedules, manage inventory effectively, and proactively address manufacturing risks. 

Fragmented Planning Information

Fragmented Planning Information

Critical planning data was spread across multiple systems, making it difficult to provide stakeholders with a single source of truth for production planning
