LeanDNA, a leading supply planning and inventory optimization software provider for discrete manufacturers, revealed that Daher has chosen to increase its use of the LeanDNA APEX platform to help in the standardization and optimization of supply chain operations of the manufacturing network worldwide.
The upgrade release relies on a very strong relationship between the two companies of more than ten years and will create a uniform operating model for Daher’s plants in Europe, Morocco, and the USA. This project is all about giving a unified, data-based way of supply chain implementation and at the same time raising visibility, collaboration, and productivity of the organization’s worldwide operations.
Being one of the globally known oldest manufacturers of aircraft that has been constantly operating, Daher is handling a highly complicated international supply chain that involves several regions, facilities, and business units. The company desired a system with the capacity to harmonize separate SAP environments and change isolated manual reporting processes into a single centralized operational platform.
Launching LeanDNA APEX through its worldwide network, Daher intends to create a single source of truth for the supply chain teams, which result in quicker decisions, better partnership, and more anticipatory control of inventory and material flow.
Proven Success Drives Global Expansion
The decision to expand LeanDNA’s footprint was driven by strong results achieved at existing facilities, particularly at Daher’s Florida operation, where the platform has been in use for nearly ten years.

The Florida site consistently maintains a 98% proficiency rating week after week, demonstrating the effectiveness of LeanDNA’s data-driven approach to supply chain execution. The organization now plans to replicate this operational model across additional facilities worldwide to improve material availability and strengthen overall supply chain performance.
“We utilize LeanDNA to master all of our purchasing functions and provide critical communications to our production control and warehouse teams,” said Michael Terry, Supply Chain Director at Daher. “It allows the actual floor production to have a clear understanding of our actions and how we are bringing material in. For any leader focused on cost performance and team monitoring, LeanDNA is the essential tool.”
Delivering Measurable Operational Improvements
And, we have achieved large performance enhancement at the individual and team level in Daheer’s supply chain organization. Another example is Supply Planner Dimitri Milot, who has implemented suggestions and raw data given by the LeanDNA platform to greatly reduce keystone materials shortages by 53% in only one month.
This project has demonstrated that LeanDNA can generate pragmatic manufacturing intelligence.
By integrating real-time visibility with standardized workflows, LeanDNA allows teams to proactively discover hazards sooner, prioritize their activities more efficiently, and enhance team responsiveness throughout procurement and planning organizations.
Creating a Common Language for Global Operations
As the deployment expands, LeanDNA APEX will provide tactical buyers and supply chain teams across Daher’s global network with a unified set of key performance indicators, processes, and workflows regardless of geographic location.
This standardization allows teams to operate more consistently, collaborate more effectively, and align around shared operational objectives. It also reduces reliance on spreadsheets and manual reporting while improving transparency across the organization.
“Daher is a global leader in aerospace innovation, and their commitment to supply chain excellence is a model for the industry,” said Andy Ellenthal, CEO of LeanDNA. “By moving beyond static spreadsheets and fragmented ERP data, Daher is empowering its global workforce to speak a common language and execute with precision. We are honored to support their continued growth and operational resilience.”
Building a Foundation for Future Growth
LeanDNA APEX will be the supply chain execution platform that will centralize Daher’s operations enabling the company to spread globally best practices at the same time ensuring operational consistency in manufacturing and logistics.
This new and bigger partnership goes hand in hand with Daher’s commitment to embracing digital transformation, strengthening the supply chain, and enhancing operational excellence as it keeps serving customers in aerospace and logistics worldwide.
A few ways that are helping Daher change into a supply chain organization which is more agile and capable of quickly responding to needs with a view to supporting growth in the future while upholding the strict standards that the aerospace industry takes are providing teams with real-time information, unifying processes, and using common performance indicators so that shares.
