CATLCATL Adopts Infor for Plan to Produce
CATL, an industrials organization in China, uses Infor WMS from Infor to support plan to produce for planners and plant leads.
CATL folded Infor WMS into plan to produce so planners and plant leads share one view of supply and production planning.
“Planners and plant leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”
“Infor delivers industry-specific cloud ERP and supply chain applications for manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and distribution.”

Story
Inside CATL, plan to produce used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of China. Planners and plant leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
CATL uses Infor WMS from Infor as the working layer for supply and production planning. Infor delivers industry-specific cloud ERP and supply chain applications for manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and distribution. The practical change is simple: plan to produce has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What CATL gets from Infor is a durable place to run plan to produce and a way for planners and plant leads to see the same supply and production planning at the same time.
