ATLANTA, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Logility, Inc.
(Nasdaq: LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the
supply chain, today announced that Logility Voyager Solutions enable companies
to further green supply chain initiatives by helping reduce energy
consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and reducing excess inventories to
minimize the overall impact on the environment.
"Companies are moving beyond thinking about a green supply chain and are
setting specific goals and investing in initiatives to improve supply chain
operations with a more eco-conscious approach," said Mike Edenfield, president
and CEO, Logility. "Since these sustainability initiatives touch all areas of
the supply chain, each company must evaluate the impact on costs and revenue
growth within their specific global network. Logility Voyager Solutions help
companies advance sustainability objectives while also maximizing supply chain
efficiencies to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage."
By optimizing global supply chain management, Logility Voyager Solutions
support sustainability efforts in a number of ways including: improving
forecasting for new product introductions that are focused on environmentally
friendly products; planning the roll-out of enhanced packaging that minimizes
waste and includes recycled materials; reducing inventories by quickly sensing
changes in consumer demand and synchronizing market demand with production
goals; increasing manufacturing efficiency by optimizing changeovers and
tracking specific green Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) featured within
Logility Voyager Solutions; and modeling complex supply chain networks to
better plan production and distribution.
Logility Voyager Solutions also enable companies to "go green" by
improving transportation planning and management which leads to reduced fuel
consumption and lower emissions. With Logility, companies can more efficiently
and cost-effectively plan distribution routes with suppliers and customers;
maximize capacity and move full containers; consolidate multiple customer
orders and eliminate expedited and extra shipping costs for on-time delivery
while honoring customer delivery dates.
"Sustainability efforts have certainly changed the way companies look at
their global supply chain operations and Logility Voyager Solutions provides
the flexibility to model a variety of factors and support better
decision-making as each enterprise navigates through specific sustainability
initiatives," continued Edenfield. "Logility Voyager Solutions help our
customers plan multiple scenarios, visualize the trade-offs and merits of each
plan and implement the best plan for both their business and the environment."
Logility recently participated in an APICS vendor webcast, "Thinking about
