MANU), a leading global provider of supply chain management and pricing
optimisation solutions, today announced that Motorola's Personal Communications
Sector has deployed Manugistics solutions to enable it to more closely align
manufacturing operations with global product demand.
Motorola has deployed Manugistics' Collaborative, Planning, Forecasting and
Replinishment (CPFR) solutions. CPFR is a rapidly emerging protocol designed to

to improve forecast accuracy, enhance customer service, reduce excess and
obsolete inventory, and jointly manage promotions and new product introductions.

and are confident that our powerful solutions for collaboration will assist in
boosting the availability of the company's popular devices, while lowering

world."
