A3 at Van de Velde

Van de Velde is one of the largest European producers of lingerie with a turnover of about € 100 million. Four times a year a new collection is introduced for the brands Marie Jo, Prima Donna, Marie Jo L’Aventure and Marie Jo L’Exclusive.

Van de Velde has more than one thousand employees in five different countries. Over 4000 specialized shops in Europe sell about 800 styles with a full range of sizes and cups (more than 12.000 options all together).

At Van de Velde the task of A3 is to improve the forecast during the forward order period, improve the re-order planning and improve the forecast of the stayers (core styles).

The forecast quality of A3 was proven during a workshop. It took only two months to get from start implementation to full operation.

The planned quantities per option (style, size, cup) are interfaced from A3 to Movex for the purchase and production planning.
