Lippert Components Kinaxis RapidResponse Supply Chain Planning Case Study
Case study shows how Lippert Components unified siloed data across acquired facilities using Kinaxis RapidResponse for demand visibility, BOM analysis, and inventory planning.
Lippert Components, a global supplier to RV and housing industries, faced fragmented systems after multiple acquisitions. RapidResponse connected hundreds of data sources to deliver real-time demand history, full indented BOMs, where-used reporting, and cost-to-price analysis. The platform replaced slow SQL queries, enabled daily updated forecasts, and extended use to production, engineering, sales, finance, and external vendors.
