Leading Air Purifying Respirator Manufacturer Increases
Production to Four to Six Times Usual Levels During COVID-19
Pandemic
Demand Management, Inc., a leading global resource for
cloud-based digital supply chain management solutions, announced
today that MAXAIR Systems, a recognized leader in providing powered
air purifying respirators (PAPRs) for various environments, has
chosen Demand Solutions® as its new supply chain planning
platform.
MAXAIR Systems provides creative solutions to meet needs
wherever personal respiratory and contact concerns demand the
highest quality of safety and comfort to the user. When the
COVID-19 pandemic caused the company’s sales of MAXAIR® PAPRs to
increase to four or six times their usual levels, MAXAIR Systems
needed a way to ensure it could manage its supply chain effectively
so that it could produce enough MAXAIR CAPR units to meet the
exploding demand. The company reached out to Demand Management for
a solution.
“What we needed most was a way to allocate our inventory and
supplies based on rules, rather than best estimates,” said Jacob
Herbert, COO and Legal Counsel, MAXAIR Systems. “Our forecasting
process couldn’t prevent bottlenecks. We would often find ourselves
ready to ship MAXAIR CAPR units—only to have to halt the process
because a key part was on backorder from a supplier.”
Just three weeks after Herbert first called Demand Management,
MAXAIR Systems went live on Demand Solutions Requirements Planning
and Demand Solutions Deploy. The company has used the platform to
prioritize production so that it can meet the needs of the markets
hardest hit by COVID-19 while still offering good levels of service
to other markets.
“MAXAIR Systems is a forward-thinking company that didn’t back
down from the responsibility of providing urgently needed supplies
during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Bill Harrison, president of
Demand Management. “Rather than letting their previous systems and
processes hold them back, they took the pandemic as a challenge to
improve everything they do—and found ways to help save lives. We
are honored to partner with a company that embraces opportunities
and look forward to helping them tackle their future production
challenges.”
