Improving warehouse distribution with integrated supply chain management
2008-04-26 19:06:00 Get your products shipped when you need it.For eight years I worked for a tire wholesale company as CIO. The job was part accounting auditor, mostly IT, and part inventory auditor. We had our five major warehouses in the southeast and midwest.

Logility Voyager Solutions wants to help green your supply chain
2008-04-09 01:27:00 How polluting is a company's supply line? Probably more than you would imagine. Do products arrive in a timely matter (warehouses do need energy)? Could you reuse transport so it would pick up two products from different providers on the same way thus reducing transport costs (and pollution)? How cost- and environmentally-wise is it to use a foreign supplier?These are the questions that Logility Voyager Solutions claims it can answer for your company. By improving transportation planning and management, fuel consumption is reduced and fewer emissions are produced. Most important, to most business managers, costs can be driven down. Logility also claims that their product allows the creation and the monitoring of green products, which can be assessed environmentally during the design process.[Source: Logility]
