Manugistics Implements Networks Solutions For Campbell Soup Company in Europe
ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Manugistics Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MANU), the premier global provider of Enterprise Profit Optimization(TM) (EPO) solutions -- the powerful combination of supply chain management and pricing and revenue optimization solutions -- for enterprises and marketplaces, today announced that it is helping Campbell Soup Europe create common demand planning, production planning and manufacturing scheduling systems across the soup-maker's four-country European supply chain operations. Using Manugistics NetWORKS(TM) solutions, Campbell's supply chain operations in Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom are beginning to have a more integrated supply chain through the use of common, more accurate data.
"Manugistics demonstrated a compelling solution framework which we felt would successfully support the best practice model we developed for our European supply chain operations," said Hans Ernest, vice president of supply chain at Campbell in Europe.
The two companies have long maintained a productive global relationship. Campbell has used Manugistics solutions to forecast demand and plan production in the United States -- most recently at the Away From Home division. Campbell's United Kingdom operations have experienced 100 percent increases in forecast accuracy each of the last two years following an earlier implementation of Manugistics demand planning solutions.
"Over the past five years, Campbell has used Manugistics solutions to better fulfill customer demand for some of the world's most popular soups and food brands," said Rich Bergmann, Manugistics president. "That deep relationship -- coupled with the experience we've gained helping companies throughout Europe create integrated supply chains -- has helped enable Campbell Europe to track to corporate objectives."
