News: New agreement to drive global supply chain modelling at Nestle
Nestlé has selected Barloworld Supply Chain Software to supply
chain modelling, network design and optimisation.
Barloworld Supply Chain Software will implement its CAST
software on a global scale - a powerful, desktop based application
to evaluate and identify different supply chain strategies, leading
to cost savings and service improvements. Businesses using CAST
typically achieve a 10-15% saving on their supply chain costs
through the application of network optimisation.
In addition, Barloworld Supply Chain Software will be providing
ongoing support and training for the application.
Robert Vallender, Head of Physical Logistics Corporate
Operations, Supply Chain, at Nestec[1] comments, "We have a highly
complex supply chain network. And it is critical that we employ a
strategy which is both lean for the business and delivers for our
customers. We have been impressed with the benefits of CAST and
have taken the decision to implement on a global scale."
Ewan French, Chief Operating Officer at Barloworld Supply Chain
Software, adds, "Barloworld has been working with Nestlé in the
Philippines since July 2005, where we implemented CAST to help
optimise supply chain operations in Asia. It was this success that
was the basis for us working with Nestlé on a global scale. CAST is
now the network modelling software of choice to be used globally
across all product streams."
