TriQuint Semiconductor, a high-tech component manufacturer, faced volatile demand, short product lifecycles, and slow response to customer changes. After implementing Kinaxis RapidResponse, the company reduced S&OP cycle time from seven days to three, enabled same-day customer upside responses, and achieved early inventory reductions. The solution replaced manual Excel processes with standardized workbooks and improved planner productivity by shifting focus from data gathering to analysis.

Key takeaways

Reduced S&OP analysis time from seven days to three days

Enabled same-day response to customer demand changes versus up to two weeks previously

Achieved inventory reductions within weeks of going live

Replaced manual Excel reporting with automated RapidResponse workbooks

Shifted planner role from data collection to strategic analysis
