JDA® Software Group, Inc.

CJ Corporation recently completed a benchmarking program with JDA Software’s solutions in Japan that resulted in significant superiority over SAP APO, the competing supply chain software solution previously utilized by CJ Corporation. To streamline deployment, JDA Software entered into a strategic alliance with Korea’s EXE Consulting and Technologies to effectively implement supply and demand chain solutions for this leading South Korean food and packaged goods manufacturer. "CJ Corporation is acutely aware of the importance of supply chain management,” said Kim Ki-Jin - Manager of Speed Management Team, CJ Corporation. "There are various demands and processes in the food and consumer packaged goods industries, and the competition is constantly increasing due to Korea’s economic environment. With the deployment of JDA Software solutions, CJ Corporation is now better equipped to maintain its disciplined holding-company strategy for all of its business entities.” The manufacturer is confident that the JDA Software solutions will provide one synchronized view of demand across the entire organization, minimize the gap between planning and execution and decrease stock levels in distribution centers throughout the whole supply chain. Specifically, CJ Corporation expects that they will increase forecast accuracy and decrease administrative expenses. "JDA’s strength and experience in the food and consumer packaged goods industries were the key winning factors for CJ Corporation’s supply chain system upgrade,” stated Kang Suk-hyun, CEO of EXE C&T. "CJ Corporation’s supply chain system users were experiencing difficulties using SAP, which really prompted us to seek an alternative solution to simplify the connectivity between the demand forecast and the manufacturing system.” Rod Talbot, JDA Software regional vice president, Asia Pacific, said, "With JDA Software supply and demand chain solutions, enterprises gain the ability to effectively channel their energies to adapt and take foreseeable steps toward maintaining a leadership position in the global market.
