Logility Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize
the supply chain, invites attendees of the S&OP Innovation Summit,
hosted by The Innovation Enterprise (IE Group), in Boston, MA to attend
the session, “Supply Chain Success: More than Counting Beans”. The
educational presentation is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, 2014
at 11:40 AM ET.
In order to deliver innovative new offerings, support its impressive
global growth, and be flexible enough to ensure the right products are
available based on changing consumer preferences, Caribou Coffee’s
supply chain planning process needed an overhaul. In this educational
session, Karen Francois of Caribou Coffee will share how the supply
chain organization transformed its processes and turned to advanced
supply chain solutions to drive greater accuracy, responsiveness, and
collaboration to support its sales and operations planning (S&OP)
process and drive significant improvements across its value chain.
Caribou Coffee, for example, was able to completely transition from a
monthly planning process to a weekly process helping the company
accelerate its inventory turns by an impressive 35%.
