Introduction

Since 1953, Mauri has been providing customers worldwide with high-quality fastening solutions for the wood, automotive, and general industrial sectors. Thanks to its strong vocation for innovation and product customisation, the company has established itself internationally with its 15,000-square-metre production facility in Garlate (LC).

The problem

In an industrial environment that is becoming increasingly unstable and variable, with customised demands, the company has found it difficult to plan materials efficiently. The growing complexity of the supply chain, coupled with shorter product life cycles and higher customer expectations, means that a radical rethink of the planning model is necessary to maintain competitiveness and efficiency.

The solution

F.lli Mauri has initiated a project aimed at defining a new operating model for materials requirements planning, adopting the Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) approach. This model allows to better respond to market dynamics, improving responsiveness and inventory management.
