“Maxager is helping us focus our efforts and realize the enormous potential we have.”
--Kevin Stevens, VP Marketing & Sales, Owens-Illinois

Maxager 7’s web-based, integrated planning and performance management environment allows management teams of large, complex manufacturers to achieve new levels of profit, growth and return on assets (ROA).

Rather than making sales and operations decisions based solely on a traditional margin-only approach, Maxager’s patented Profit Velocity™ Engine combines margin and production velocity information to determine profit-per-minute by product, deal, customer, market, region, salesperson, plant or production line. This valuable insight is presented in role-based reports that enable strategic decision making prior to the Sales and Operations Planning process instead of balancing supply and demand after orders are already committed.

Maxager 7’s What-if Planner enables planners to simulate realistic scenarios in planning sessions and immediately calculates the impact on bottom-line profit, enabling better decision making with regard to product mix, customer mix, pricing, asset utilization, cost of quality, and new product development.

Maxager 7’s Variance Analyzer ties Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) with Performance Management by tracking actual versus plan profit variances over time and linking those variances to their detailed causes. This “closed loop” approach supports comparative metrics, root cause analysis, continuous profit improvement, and the generation of best practices.

When paired with the OutPerformance Optimizer, complex manufacturers are able to create a sales and operations plan optimized for maximum profitability, fine tune it in the What-if Planner based on real-world requirements and developments, analyze the performance against this plan in the Variance Analyzer, and push that insight through to the next planning cycle.

This vision, agility and control over the S&OP process drives significant, sustainable profit growth and alignment across the enterprise within the complex businesses we support.
