Flooring and surface manufacturer scaling operations with predictive maintenance and S&OP
Shaw Industries operates a sprawling manufacturing footprint across residential, commercial, and outdoor flooring—with 18,000 associates and $6B in annual sales. The hiring velocity is accelerating, and the active project list reveals a shift from reactive to data-driven operations: predictive maintenance, S&OP strategy implementation, and proactive maintenance planning dominate the roadmap. The tech stack (Workday, ServiceNow, Salesforce, DeltaV, Kronos) is industrial-operational rather than software-first, and adoption of Vendavo signals a pricing and margin-optimization push.
