Atlanta (March 25, 2009) – Logility, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, announced today that Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine has recognized Logility customers Jennifer Hughey, vice president, supply chain, Electrolux Home Care Products North America, and Greg Wolljung, vice president, supply chain, Lance, Inc., as 2009 Practitioner Pros to Know.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive Practitioner Pros to Know is a listing of exceptional corporate executives at enterprises that are demonstrating leadership during the current economic downturn by managing risk in the supply chain, providing competitive advantage and/or delivering value to the bottom line. This year the Magazine recognized 18 Practitioner Pros to Know in its ninth-annual listing.
"By turning the spotlight onto these outstanding Practitioner Pros to Know, we are not only recognizing their accomplishments but also offering them as role models for other executives looking to bring their own organizations through these turbulent economic times and take the supply chain to a higher, more strategic level within the enterprise," said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "They are all truly 'Pros to Know.'"
Jennifer Hughey, vice president, supply chain, Electrolux Home Care Products North America, recently led her team in the implementation of Logility Voyager Solutions™ to increase demand visibility, strengthen collaboration, improve forecast accuracy, reduce inventory and increase customer service levels. With the growing expectations of their customer base and the current economic climate, Hughey recognized the need to streamline their planning processes to ensure that Electrolux had a system in place that would support future growth and help maintain high customer service levels.
Greg Wolljung, vice president, supply chain, Lance, Inc., leads the Service and Distribution group, Logistics Operations and demand and supply planning strategies for the field selling organization. His leadership in a recent initiative to improve business processes has better prepared Lance to weather the current economic climate by increasing visibility across the enterprise to achieve a consensus forecast, improve forecast accuracy on a 30-day horizon and optimize inventory levels. Wolljung and his team recently selected and implemented Logility Voyager Solutions and as a result have increased forecast accuracy, reduced days on hand, streamlined sales collaboration and developed an executive sales and operations planning (S&OP) process.
“Both Jennifer Hughey and Greg Wolljung have led their respective teams to significantly improve the efficiency of their supply chain processes and as a result have positioned their companies to weather the current economic climate and build a foundation for long-term profitability and agility,” said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO, Logility. “Logility congratulates them on their achievements and is honored to be the technology partner supporting their supply chain transformations.”
