To balance these requirements the supply chain organization at Johnstone Supply has taken an aggressive stance to improving its supply chain processes and supporting these changes with solutions that align execution with corporate goals. Since turning to Logility Voyager Solutions, Johnstone Supply has realized significant benefits including a $7 million reduction in safety stock inventory, a decrease in stock outages by up to 27 percent, and a considerable improvement in the company’s ability to ramp–up and ramp–down seasonal inventory.
“Our success depends on clear visibility into demand and aligning our inventory to quickly meet our customers’ needs,” said Raymond Kernagis, vice president of supply chain, Johnstone Supply. “We are very proud of our supply chain transformation. We have realized several benefits including enhanced visibility across our complex operations, reduced costs and improved service levels. Currently we are in the process of rolling out a collaboration initiative with our member stores to take our supply chain to a new level of proactive planning and efficiency. Logility Voyager Solutions has been the foundation of our transformation and we look forward to further taking advantage of the great breadth and depth of functionality the solution offers.”
