Blue Ridge Predicts Keys to Supply Chain Planning in SDCE Magazine
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) October 16, 2013 -- In the September issue, http://www..brinv.com/l/8182/2013-10-15/3k51c3 [Supply & Demand Chain, Executive __title__ ] Magazine connected with five “SDCE 100” honorees, including http://www..brinv.com/l/8182/2013-06-05/3js3fp [Blue Ridge __title__ ]. In the article, “Clearly Managing Inventory,” Blue Ridge shared a vision of a changing supply chain landscape and what it could mean to retailers and wholesalers.
As the economy improves, many companies seek to capture rising sales, but at the same time avoid unnecessary costs. Blue Ridge asserted http://www..brinv.com/l/8182/2013-06-05/3js3hk [Cloud solutions __title__ ] that grant greater visibility and collaboration are key to striking this balance. “There is the potential to foresee supply chain disruptions before they occur and to communicate across the supply chain to prevent the disruption,” stated Greg White, CEO of Blue Ridge. “Optimal planning—from replenishment and production to logistics, transportation and labor…results in leaner, yet more effective supply chain.”
The article also highlighted the story of Procurator, a retailer of industrial safety goods who struggled with stockouts even while company inventory levels grew. A few weeks after implementing Blue Ridge Cloud demand forecasting and http://www..brinv.com/l/8182/2013-06-05/3js3q5 [ replenishment __title__ ] solutions, Anders Armandt, Purchasing Director at Procurator, began to see results. “We could work with a good forecast, we could see trends, and we could see if somewhere in the future there would be a problem with a product.” In less than a year, Procurator improved in-stock performance from 89 percent to 97 percent, while their inventory value by almost 20 percent and increasing inventory turns by 3.6.
