Many of the world’s leading industrial manufacturers—including Caterpillar, BP, Halliburton Energy Services, Michelin, Dana Corporation, Deere and Company, and Cemex—have turned to i2 for its innovative supply chain management technology and domain expertise.

- Lower operating costs through continued deployment of lean manufacturing principles
- Drive higher throughput and provide reliable delivery dates by using scheduling and sequencing solutions for parts production, assembly, and reuse
- Enhance global supply chain visibility, supplier collaboration, and event management
- Implement multiple replenishment techniques, including sequence delivery, supplier managed inventory, and scheduled delivery
- Reduce transportation spend with logistics design and transportation planning capabilities
7 of the top 11 global industrial original equipment manufacturers use i2 solutions in their production environments.
"Prior to implementing Factory Planner, we had many trucks in WIP for a variety of reasons. We have reduced WIP by 70 percent—a tremendous drop. We can be competitive to our customers by reducing costs, because we have less cost of carried WIP."

Driving Planning and Inventory Efficiencies at Continental Tire Division
Like many manufacturers, tire companies face two major challenges in supply chain management: driving economies of scale in production while maximizing inventory efficiency in the distribution network. In the case of Continental’s Tire divisions, this is no easy task: With 14 major production sites worldwide, more than 80 warehouses, and more than 6,000 products, sophisticated software tools are needed to handle this huge data volume when creating a globally optimized production and replenishment plan.
