Since 1962, INDAUX has been inventing, developing, and manufacturing innovative hardware systems for the global furniture industry.
As Spain’s leading manufacturer of furniture fittings—and a benchmark brand in more than 70 countries—Indaux serves over 2,000 customers through five subsidiaries, four production facilities, and a distribution network spanning 30+ countries.
With 25,000 SKUs and a 24-hour delivery promise, supply chain agility isn’t optional—it’s critical.
The Challenge: Complex Networks and Constant Expedites
As Indaux’s product range and global reach expanded, its planning processes struggled to keep up.
Each factory used different methods for production planning and replenishment, creating silos and inefficiencies.
Planners faced:
- Thousands of work-in-process (WIP) orders clogging visibility.
- A seven-level Bill of Materials that added layers of complexity.
- A buy–sell portfolio involving international sourcing and long supplier lead times.
The result: excessive expediting—especially from overseas suppliers—and growing pressure to meet short delivery promises while controlling costs.
“Intuiflow has dramatically reduced the time we spend on planning, and our expedites from China have been significantly reduced.”
— Iñigo Ortiz, Operations Director, Indaux
The Solution: Standardizing Planning with Intuiflow
To regain control, Indaux implemented Intuiflow from Demand Driven Technologies, applying core Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) principles across its network.
Using Intuiflow’s built-in buffer positioning and sizing capabilities, the company replaced forecast-driven chaos with demand-aligned flow.
Key improvements included:
- Dynamic buffers to keep inventory aligned with actual demand.
- Filtered demand signals that stabilized production.
- Unified visibility across factories, suppliers, and planners.
What had been five different planning methods became one standardized, synchronized approach.
The Results: Less Firefighting, More Flow
Within months, Indaux realized measurable operational and financial benefits:
- Expedites significantly reduced, particularly for materials sourced from China
- Purchased-parts inventory reduced by 10%
- Unified planning process across all sites and planners, improving collaboration and visibility
- Planning time dramatically decreased, freeing resources for higher-value activities
By aligning production and sourcing to true market demand, Indaux eliminated much of the noise that once drove reactive decisions.
