Abstract
The main purpose of this Master Thesis is practical: to help with the preparation of Vaasan’s BP2.0 implementation. To accomplish our goal, we will use the learnings from a previous demand planning tool (SO99) implementation to define future needs in the planning stream and identify possible gaps in the implementation plan provided by Lantmännen Unibake. This study follows a Design Science approach and is conducted using qualitative research methods in a single-case study. Four feasible and extrapolable solutions are proposed to fill the most relevant gaps discovered during the process; they are going to facilitate the change in the planning stream during the future implementation. Another key contribution of this thesis is that brings to the literature a case study analyzed in detail where diverse factors of the context make it unique. Learning from the past is a useful tool that everybody can use in a structured way and, supported by a design thinking approach, has proved to be a powerful combination.
