Production plans at F-Tech Inc. are based on experience and intuition for the processing of demand values, which are calculated by the mainframe computer. Plan preparation takes up vast amounts of resources and time every day due to errors and incorrect estimates that require constant manual readjusting. The inefficient and lengthy planning process results in excessive inventory stock levels and discrepancies between production orders and material orders.

Asprova is introduced together with DISP (a production management module) to manage the situation. Within two months, inventory stock levels are greatly reduced and work load on planning managers brought to manageable levels.
