Blue Yonder Service Overview
MIR has experienced consultants who have been implementing supply chain planning system since former i2 Technologies Japan (currently Blue Yonder Japan) started in 1997. Also, we have developed business/system templates based on our project experiences. We will utilize these assets and support client’s global supply chain transformation.
In addition to global master plan and demand management, we have strengths in S&OP (Sales & Operation planning), which has been the center of SCM scope in recent years. By aligning SCM with budget process, product planning, and design development process, we support business and system transformation and business plan achievement.
