Konica Minolta implemented the Kinaxis Maestro platform to replace legacy Excel and weekly PSI systems with daily planning and in-memory analytics. The solution supported agile scenario modeling during factory shutdowns in China, port congestion, and semiconductor shortages. A single shared data environment enabled cross-functional teams to align on inventory, cash, and sales plan adjustments while maintaining S&OP discipline.
