VMS Solutions' MOZART 3.0: A Game Changer for Interojo's Production Planning

In the competitive landscape of manufacturing, efficiency is paramount. VMS Solutions, a frontrunner in AI-driven production planning software, has introduced their innovative platform, MOZART 3.0, which has shown remarkable results for South Korean eye care company Interojo. The implementation of this powerful tool has drastically reduced Interojo's production planning time, allowing the company to streamline operations in a highly complex environment.

Transforming Production Planning

Interojo, known for its Clalen brand of contact lenses, manages an extensive portfolio of over 200 products that vary in prescriptions, colors, and functional specifications. The traditional approach of coordinating thousands of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) through disparate spreadsheets not only consumed valuable time but also hampered effective decision-making. With the integration of MOZART 3.0, these challenges are now a thing of the past.

Once taking nearly two hours to complete daily planning, Interojo's new system enables this process to be completed in approximately 10 minutes. The software effectively replaces manual spreadsheets by providing a unified platform that allows every department to plan with the same standards and processes. This single-system approach facilitates planning for all aspects from injection molding to packaging, including processes that are outsourced, enhancing overall operational continuity.

Outstanding Results Achieved

The results have been nothing short of transformative:

• - A staggering 92% decrease in daily planning time.
• - 99% of master data errors were resolved during the system's implementation.
• - Creation of a longer planning horizon to proactively identify potential delivery risks and bottlenecks.
• - A significant 6.6% reduction in inventory levels, achieved through optimized planning that considers yield rates, packaging units, and alternative SKUs.

As stated by a representative from Interojo, "Our focus has shifted from merely creating plans to strategically shaping our direction based on data insights." The capacity to highlight emerging issues based on data analytics has made a significant impact on their operations.

Future Implications

This advancement does not only have profound implications for Interojo, but highlights a broader potential for manufacturers with similar SKU complexities. According to Keyhoon Ko, Chief Global Business Officer at VMS Solutions, many U.S. manufacturers still rely on outdated methods to manage complex SKU environments. By harnessing the capabilities of MOZART 3.0, these companies too can achieve faster planning cycles and reduce inventory levels.

With flexible deployment options available—whether as a cloud-based solution or on-premises model—VMS Solutions caters to varying IT and security requirements, making their innovative solutions accessible to a wider audience.
