Manufacturing Operations

Daher is expanding its use of LeanDNA APEX to standardize supply chain execution across operations on three continents. The platform is intended to provide common KPIs, workflows and AI-assisted recommendations despite multiple SAP environments and historically manual reporting processes.

The deployment supports tactical buyers and operational teams working on material availability, supplier performance, inventory priorities and execution risks. The objective is to create a shared operational layer above fragmented ERP environments.

The partnership is a concrete example of manufacturers using AI-enabled execution platforms to harmonize decisions without waiting for a full core-system transformation.
