Pandora teams with Quintiq for production planning project

Pandora is rolling out planning system technology from Quintiq.

The jewellery retailer aims to have doubled its production capacity from 2015 to end of 2019 to meet rising consumer demand from 7,800 points of sale in more than 100 countries where its products are sold. It will implement Quintiq for tactical and operational production planning in its three crafting facilities in Thailand, where over 95% of its jewellery was produced in 2017. 

The company added 376 concept stores last year, bringing the total to over 2,400 stores. It recently launched its Chinese eSTORE, together with Tmall.com by China’s Alibaba Group. Pandora produces more than 120,000,000 pieces of jewellery yearly distributed across approximately 1,500 designs and launches more than 500 new designs every year to fulfil product campaigns and seasonal demand. 

“With Quintiq’s advanced planning system supporting our capacity expansion programme, we will be able to scale up manufacturing capacity, increase our efficiency and increase agility to satisfy the demands of our valued customers,” says Thomas Touborg, SVP Group Operations at Pandora.
