Infineon Technologies reduces planning errors by 90% and cuts forecasting lead time in half with Blue Yonder S&OP

The problem

Before the S&OP solution, Infineon's internal customers received a fragmented view of planning with demand, supply, capacity, and load managed in disconnected systems rather than a unified, synchronized view.
