implementation
Strategy
To reduce
manufacturing

a
i2
was too slow, didnt
integrate too well, had
bugs and the planners
were

inadequately

using legacy systems

It took more than a

data entry to be
recorded in i2 from
legacy systems
Due to which heavy
customization
was
done.

integrate with ERP

Companies
were
trying to do consensus
planning rather than
demand planning
