Logility, Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to
optimize the supply chain, today announced it will join Caribou Coffee
in an educational APICS webcast that looks at how Caribou Coffee
balances its aggressive growth initiatives across its three channels of
business (retail, franchise and commercial) with challenges such as
increasing new product introductions, compressed planning cycles, and
the need to balance cost and service. The live event, “Supply
Chain Success: More than Counting Beans at Caribou Coffee,” will
begin on Tuesday, June 24 at 11:00 a.m. ET and is hosted by APICS.
Caribou Coffee needed to improve and systematize its buying process for
bringing products into its distribution centers to drive better
replenishment of its more than 500 locations and reduce in-store stock
outs of consumables, ingredients and sellable end items. Karen Francois
of Caribou Coffee and Bob Cowdrick of Logility will review the steps and
keys to Caribou Coffee’s supply chain success and how Caribou Coffee was
able to achieve impressive results such as a 30 percent improvement in
inventory turns, above 99 percent service levels and a significant
reduction in obsolete inventory.
