News: Barloworld SCS demonstrates how to optimise the supply chain at Multimodal 2012
Visitors to Multimodal 2012 will discover the latest
supply chain optimisation solutions at stand 232, where Barloworld Supply Chain Software consultants will
offer advice and showcase the company's latest
software.
Global supply chain planning company, Barloworld Supply Chain
Software (SCS) is exhibiting its range of supply chain modelling
and inventory optimising software solutions at Multimodal
2012 at Birmingham's NEC from 1-3 May.
"Multimodal provides the opportunity to meet with existing and
potential customers and to discuss current supply chain
requirements" says Kevin Boake, Managing Director of Barloworld
SCS. "Specialists will be on the stand to offer advice about supply
chain modelling, inventory optimisation strategy, demand planning
and various topics surrounding supply chain optimisation."
Multimodal 2012 will also see Barloworld SCS launch the latest
version of CINO a
multi-echelon inventory strategy optimisation application that
enables a step change in the way inventory is managed across the
network.
"In the current economic climate many businesses face the
challenge of how to deliver the level of service that customers
require in order to compete effectively" says Nick Newby-Ricci,
Business Development Manager for Barloworld SCS. "Traditional
approaches to inventory management are not capable of calculating
inventory policies that enable the service level customers demand
with an acceptable level of working capital."
Multi-echelon inventory
strategy optimisation applications such as Barloworld SCS's
CINO software helps businesses to achieve greater transparency and
the ability to model end to end inventory flows, so they are able
to reduce working capital and consistently achieve targeted service
performance levels.
Barloworld SCS offers a suite of software solutions to help
companies enhance their entire supply chains, through the
application of warehouse location planning, service lead-time
analysis, stock profiling and classification, inventory
forecasting, demand planning and excess stock management.
Barloworld SCS's software range includes the
CAST Aurora Supply Chain Strategy tool and
Optimiza Inventory Planner, which helps drive down inventory
and improve service levels.
