Nutra Organics NetSuite MRP and Demand Planning Case Study

Nutra Organics faced several challenges with manual systems in production and inventory management. First, Demand Planning relied on spreadsheets, which were error-prone and limited visibility. This led the team to struggle with inefficient processes. These processes slowed production and created operational bottlenecks. Additionally, the manual nature of work orders affected scalability impacting their ability to meet growing market demands. A more effective solution was required to resolve inefficiencies and ensure innovation and sustainable growth.

Nutra Organics faced significant visibility issues in production and inventory management. First, manual spreadsheets were used to monitor inventory, production schedules, and raw material requirements. This approach created fragmented and inconsistent data across different teams. As a result, the lack of a unified view led to errors, causing either excess inventory or stockouts. These visibility problems generated operational challenges. They made it difficult for Nutra Organics to meet customer demand and pursue growth opportunities.

Errors in planning and managing work orders presented significant challenges for Nutra Organics. Production issues were frequent due to inconsistent planning data. Manual data entry caused mistakes in purchase orders and production workflows, leading to misaligned work orders. These problems also strained relationships with third-party manufacturers. Delays in transfer orders impacted inventory availability and fulfilment, restricting the company’s ability to deliver efficiently.

OneKloudX partnered with Nutra Organics to implement NetSuite MRP and Demand Planning, addressing production planning challenges. The project started with a comprehensive discovery phase. First, the OneKloudX team worked closely with Nutra Organics to understand their existing processes. They analysed workflows and identified inefficiencies. Critical areas that needed immediate improvement were pinpointed.

The next step focused on master data preparation. The team used their technical expertise to cleanse and consolidate data. This included categories, item groups, and planning rules. Accurate data was essential for a smooth transition from manual to automated systems. Without reliable data, planning decisions would suffer, causing delays and mismatches between supply and demand. Establishing clean data upfront created a solid foundation for the project.

Following this, improvements in Demand Planning were implemented. The NetSuite tools enabled Nutra Organics to forecast demand accurately, reducing overstock and stockout risks. This improvement has ensured collaboration between production, procurement, and sales teams. All departments worked from the same updated information. Removing silos aligned operations and fostered a unified business approach.

Another key benefit was greater visibility. Real-time data provided insights into inventory, production, and supplier performance. This visibility allowed Nutra Organics to respond proactively to disruptions. The team could make timely adjustments. This approach ensured production stayed on track, fulfilling customer orders as planned.

Implementing NetSuite Materials Resource Planning and Demand Planning by OneKloudX was more than just a technology upgrade—it was a strategic enhancement of Nutra Organics’ entire production and planning ecosystem. By automating key processes and ensuring real-time visibility, Nutra Organics achieved sustainable growth and operational efficiency. OneKloudX’s expertise made the transformation successful, reaffirming their role as a trusted partner in advanced manufacturing solutions.
