Lodge creates a recipe for better supply chain planning Lodge Cast Iron is the oldest cast-iron cookware company in America. Before Anaplan, the company lacked integrated, real-time communication between demand and supply planning,  which resulted in lost sales. Using a new approach to inventory, production, and demand planning with Anaplan, planners at Lodge are confident that they can meet demand and take on any new orders that come their way.  They have reduced the chance for human error and ensured that the forecast can be updated more often. Visibility into the forecast has been vastly improved, meaning that demand planning and production planning are aligned, leading to reduced cost and greater efficiency. For Lodge, implementing Anaplan has already created several hundred thousand dollars in savings and top line sales—and they’re just getting started.
