Major Manufacturer of Plastic Containers Will Use the S&OP Azimuth Workbench Tool to Improve S&OP Data Collection and Reporting
Wilmington, Del. (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Supply Chain Consultants, designer and supplier of the Zemeter suite of supply chain management (SCM) software products, announced today a contract with Constar International Inc. (NASDAQ: CNST) to provide and implement the Zemeter S&OP Azimuth, a workbench tool, which will highly automate and standardize the collection and reporting of data to support Constar’s S&OP process.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, Constar is one of the largest suppliers of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic containers for conventional applications throughout North America and Europe. Conventional PET containers are primarily designed and manufactured for soft drinks and water. Constar also has an expanding position in the growing custom PET market, designed for food, juices, teas, sport drinks, new age beverages, beer and flavored alcoholic beverages. Constar’s customers include major brand marketers in the beverage and food industries.
“We want to bring the same innovation and leadership to managing our S&OP process as we have brought to our manufacturing process,” said Chuck Arteseros, vice president of logistics for Constar. “We found S&OP Azimuth a user-friendly, fast and reliable software tool for distilling and reporting all of the key data required to manage our S&OP process and facilitate our meetings. We are dedicated to the S&OP process and believe it gives us a competitive advantage.”
S&OP Azimuth, with its SQL server database, provides organizations with the tools to integrate data from many systems, including spreadsheets, and perform “what-if” scenarios during executive S&OP meetings to make the most informed supply chain decisions. All data needed for conducting S&OP meetings, as well as demand planning and supply planning pre-S&OP meetings, is available in one place. S&OP Azimuth allows management to answer important questions during the meetings without reconvening for multiple iterations. S&OP Azimuth turns plans into both revenue and earnings based on input selling prices and costs. Metrics compare actuals and plans vs. budget by S&OP family.
